“The main purpose is to save lives period,“ owner Joseph Meyers said.
When it comes to safety, Bay Block strives to be at the forefront of Fall Protection equipment, Meyers believes.
“We maintain a rigorous standard to ensure the utmost safety and success,” Meyers said. “Our primary goal is to protect individuals, enabling them to return home safely after completing their tasks. Additionally, we aim to assist your business by providing a comprehensive compliance tool.”
Suspension Trauma also known as Harness Hang Syndrome can occur within 10 minutes of a fall, while symptoms can appear in as little as five minutes.
When you fall from a structure while harnessed, the pressure placed on your body can reach more than 1,800 pounds. This amount of force can potentially cause injury to your spine, neck, ribs, and internal organs.
Within minutes of falling and being suspended from your safety harness, blood begins to pool in your legs. Simultaneously, your heart will begin to beat faster, increasing the blood flow to your heart, while continuing to pump blood to your legs.
This can lead to excess stress on your heart, resulting in a heart attack or loss of consciousness due to the lack of oxygenated blood in your brain. This later can cause brain damage or worse, death.
“We are proud to introduce our groundbreaking device, which combines Bluetooth and cell phone signals to enhance safety measures. We are fully compliant with ANSI and OSHA regulations,” Meyers said.
The industry for years has said that you should have fall protection in use. In fact, it is required by OSHA.
“I always thought that was a very good idea to wear it, but what happens after you have fallen is never really discussed,” Meyers said. “OSHA did put out a bulletin that explains that if you fall in fall protection and hang there you can develop ‘Harness Hang Syndrome’. It can cause serious injury and in some cases death. If the ZAC is used correctly it will save lives.”
According to Meyers, the ZAC will solve two problems in the industry and recreational activities.
It will alert up to 5 people that someone has fallen to reduce the time of rescue
It will alert the supervisors and or the users to take the fall protection out of service
