HighStep joins industry association Swiss Safety
HighStep Systems AG has joined the Swiss industry association for personal protective equipment. The company develops innovative fall protection systems that are used in various industries worldwide.
HighStep Systems AG has joined the Swiss industry association for manufacturers and importers of personal protective equipment (PPE), according to a press release. Swiss Safety is committed to improving safety standards in the industry and offers its members access to a wide range of resources, training courses and networks, it added.
As a new partner in the association, HighStep Systems AG wants to play an active role in promoting occupational safety and efficiency, according to the press release. HighStep’s fall protection systems and ergonomic solutions for working at heights and depths are specially designed to make workplaces safer and more productive.
HighStep Systems AG was founded in 2007 and is based in Dietikon. It develops and sells arrester systems as an alternative to conventional climbing methods such as fixed ladders. As a result, workstations at great heights can be reached safely and comfortably, which increases safety and productivity for employees. The HighStep climbing protection system consists of two components: an aluminum rail as a system carrier and a selectable climbing device, the HighStep Easy and the portable HighStep Lift.
In terms of application, the focus is on electricity pylons, wind turbines, transmission towers and industrial plants. Several thousand installations are in operation worldwide – primarily in Europe and also in Asian countries such as China and India. Customers include the Swiss transmission system operator Swissgrid, the European high-voltage grid operator TenneT and the Chinese energy company State Grid Corporation of China.
