I have driven by this store for months before I stopped by, it always looked rather deserted as the outside signs could use a fresh coat of paint. I am happy I finally took the time to stop in. They have a great selection of supplies for t... ...read more

New OSHA Residential Construction Regulation in 2011
According to data from the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average of 40 workers are killed each year as a result of falls from residential roofs. As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently announced new fall protection requirements for residential construction. The new directive requires all residential builders to comply with 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1926.501(b)(13). Construction and roofing companies will have until June 16, 2011, to comply with the new directive. Under 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13) workers engaged in residential construction over six (6) feet above the ground level are to be protected by conventional fall protection. For roofers, the 25 foot, ground-to-eave height threshold no longer applies, nor do slide guards as an acceptable form of fall protection, regardless of the roof pitch or height of the roof eave. These new requirements replace the Interim Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction, Standard 03-00-001 that have been in effect since 1995 and allowed residential builders to bypass fall protection requirements. Construction and roofing companies will have up to six months (June 16, 2011) to comply with the new directive. OSHA has developed training and compliance assistance materials for small employers and will host a webinar for parties interested in learning more about complying with the standard. As always, Armor Personal Protective Equipment, LLC is here to assist employers of all types remain compliant with OSHA regulations. If you are a roofing contractor struggling with the new OSHA directive please call us today for a free consultation at our offices familiarizing you and your team with fall protection products and usage. ...read more

Ultra Safe Retractable Goes Above and Beyond the Call of Duty
Armor Personal Protective Equipment LLC is proud to announce that we will now be stocking self retracting lifelines that are designed and tested for use in horizontal and leading edge use in addition to traditional vertical use. Ultra-Safe's line of European manufactured retractables are constructed and tested in accordance with the more stringent DIN EN 360 standards. This standard, when compared to the much more lenient OSHA requirements, more accurately addresses the real world applications many construction crews work under. DIN EN 360 Testing GraphicAll ULTRA-SAFE safety retractable's are tested in accordance with the requirements based on the new draft of DIN EN 360 and have the requisite test approvals. ULTRA-SAFE safety retractable's are certified in accordance with CE by the test and certification body of the Personal Safety Equipment technical committee. The functional ability of the retractable is guaranteed by testing them in extreme situations ( e.g.. Cold, heat, and moisture). The new draft of DIN EN 360 requires that all safety retractable's are also tested in horizontal use. In particular, falling over a sharp edge (leading edge). The tests have fully confirmed that the ULTRA-SAFE safety retractable series satisfy this new standard. The new DIN EN 360 requirements:Design and ergonomicsMaterials and constructionBlocking after pre-treatment. blocking in horizontal positionStatic load bearing capacity, static load bearing for horizontal applicationsDynamic performance, dynamic performance for horizontal applications, dynamic load bearing capacity for horizontal applicationsOptional requirement in respect to fatigue strengthCorrosion resistanceIdentification and informationOh, and just in case you were wondering…these retractable exceed current OSHA requirements!Armor PPE will stock 15′, 30′, 60′ & 100′ wire rope (3/16″) retractable lifelines that all meet the DIN EN 360 standards.

Urgent! Miller Fall Protection Responds to Recent Safety Bulletin
There has been an unendorsed "Special Safety Bulletin" in circulation regarding Miller® Fall Protection Harnesses and the integrity of our quick-connect buckles with plastic inserts. This notification is to alert you that this publication was neither issued nor approved by Sperian Fall Protection, Inc. This safety bulletin concerning our quick-connect buckles on Miller Harnesses improperly creates a question about the safety of our quick-connect buckles and potentially our harnesses. This is, of course, not true. The purpose of this memo is to state clearly that there is no stop-use or recall on any Miller fall protection harness that has a quick connect buckle with a plastic insert. The safety bulletin states that the user "Identified two units that were manufactured with a "green" plastic component in the locking mechanism that was cracked. The cracked plastic component prevented the latch from staying in a closed position. Due to this vulnerability, the manufacturer has redesigned the harness buckles using all-metal parts." While it is true that the quick-connect buckle will not stay closed if the plastic part is cracked, proper inspection prior to donning should prevent the harness from being worn. Once worn, it is very unlikely that it will become damaged and if the buckle does become damaged, as we have found through our testing, the buckle will not disconnect. The statement above also implies that the buckle was damaged during manufacturing. Sperian Fall Protection does a 100% inspection of all Miller Personal Protective products prior to shipping, thus, it is very likely that the damage occurred during handling and storage. Finally, Miller moved to the new design of the all-metal buckle because of documented problems with proper maintenance, handling and storage by users of quick-connect buckles with plastic components. We strongly recommend that customers continue their routine inspection of all fall arrest equipment according to applicable OSHA, ANSI and CSA requirements following the detailed inspection instructions outlined in the Miller user guidelines. Any harness in good condition but exhibiting signs of a fractured plastic spacer in the Miller quick-connect buckle can be returned directly for replacement. Prior to returning, please contact the Miller Technical Services Department for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) at 800/873-5242 and press 4 for Technical Services.
