Dear Sir
RE: STRONGHOLD SAFETY DEVICE
I write in my capacity as the regular columnist on Health & Safety matters since 1994 in the UK trade journal “Elevation”. I also serve on various safety related British and European Standards Committees.
In my opinion, the stronghold lift product brings simplicity and safety to lift installation. I have investigated many falls down lift shafts and reports of falls down lifts shafts globally are regular. In my opinion, this product will go a long way to reducing those statistics and this reducing fatalities and serious injuries. In addition, the product provides harness and lifting points which will reduce the need for long slings to be used thus reducing potential fall distances and reducing the possibility of slings getting caught up and/or worn against abrasive surfaces over longer distances.
In my opinion, this product will go a long way towards achieving compliance with the industry recognised standard BS7255 “Safe working on lifts” I gain no reward, financial or otherwise, from making this statement and will be reviewing the product in trade journals globally.
Yours sincerely
