3oTrimestre12 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 72 Updated products Productos Climax: set of dielectric harness and belt, complemented with the 5-RS helmet Working at height originates significant risk to the operator and in the case of work at height in electrical networks even more. Hence the importance of cre- ating a safe working environment, pro- viding personal protective equipment to the worker as to reach the best possible safety against these conditions. “For this reason, Productos Climax manufactures solutions for working in electrical net- works, guaranteeing the highest levels of safety and user comfort”, the company says. ·Dielectric harness This part of the set, as the name suggests, uses dielectric material as protection ele- ment against current flow and the result- ing electrical accident. It is formed with non-conductive polyester tapes of 45 mm. It has got two anchor points to prevent falls: a dorsal and a pectoral. It inte- grates a regulatory system in the chest and the legs. All buckles are made of dielectric resin. Compliant with EN 361 standard. Furthermore, it can be used together with the dielectric belt. It is a positioning belt made of polyester tapes of 45 mm. It has got two swinging down anchor points, which transmit the load to the waist level to be used in the technique of positioning. The lumbar band is padded with perforat- ed breathable foam. It incorporates two materials-holder rings to get easy access to working materials or the tools. As in the harness, all buckles are coated with dielec- tric resin. It conforms to EN 358. The use of the harness and the belt depends on the falling factor to which the worker is exposed to, but for an increased safety Pro- ductos Climax recommends the use of both together. Testing of material shows the fol- lowing: -Breakdown voltage: ASTMD149 58.8 kV -Dielectric strength: ASTMD149 27.2 kV / mm -Surface resistivity: ASTMD257 3.98 x 1015W -Volume resistivity: ASTMD257 3.98 x 1015W, 2.33 x 1015W-cm. 5-RS, the perfect addition The 5-RS has successfully passed the specif- ic requirements described in the standard EN 50365 “Electrically insulating helmets for use in low voltage facilities”. Thus, the helmet can be used simultaneously with other protective equipment electrically insulating, preventing the passage of elec- tric current through the human body (elec- tric shock), which is produced by physical contact of the head with a conductive ele- ment subjected to electrical tension. The voltage should not exceed the 1,000 V for alternating current (AC) or 1,500 V for direct current (DC), in the low voltage range. The helmet, which is made of PEDH, a lightweight polyethylene (308 grams), fea- tures a plastic harness with 6 anchor points and manual adjustment. It is suit- able for protection against impacts with objects that can cause possible injury. It also offers effective protection for a wide range of temperatures varying from -30° C to 50° C. Different manufacturing techniques com- bined with the use of quality materials have been used, which has enabled to achieve greater comfort and adaptability to the users head due to this harness of high flexibility. It also incorporates an in- built replaceable sweatband. For the finishing of the helmet, Products Climax has taken into account different scenarios of use and type of personnel in order to provide the highest level of protec- tion without hindering the user’s normal activity. 9 PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
