Dropped objects are a leading cause of death and injury in the workplace. C360 have been looking into ways to make the work environments safer and more productive by reducing incidents that result in personal injury, equipment damage and tool loss.

CSJV and their subcontractors have been trialing the quick wrap self-fusing tape. This tape makes it possible to tether virtually any tool in a matter of seconds without defacing or structurally modifying tools. Once an attachment point has been installed on a tool, a tool lanyard can be used to tie the tool off.

The tape is made from self-fusing silicon so no heat or adhesive is needed. It also has fiberglass inserts that reinforces the tape, making it durable and cut resistant. It is good to use within seconds and works with any D ring or Cinch to create instant tether point.
