Proper tethering solutions are now a requirement instead of a recommendation after the latest ANSI/ISEA 121-2018 Dropped Objects Standard. This means that it’s now more important than ever to make sure you and your fellow workers have the correct safety equipment while working at heights.

Tanner Bolt & Nut Corp is excited to announce that on May 21st, our Farmingdale location will play host to the DeWalt NASCAR show car. This event is part of the NASCAR show car appearances for the Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, XFinity series, and NASCAR cup series. The Farmingdale location event will take place from 8-12 pm.

Warning to Outdoor Workers!

If your job requires you to work outdoors in cold environments, you may be at the risk of cold stress. Cold stress can be encountered in a number of different work environments if the proper steps are not taken to prevent it. Read on to learn more about the dangers OSHA warns workers about cold stress and how it can affect your health & safety, as well as steps you can take to prevent cold stress.

As we’ve covered previously on our blog, there aren’t any laws enforcing the usage of tool tethering on the job site. 

Many common-sense laws, such as seatbelts, help protect us from injuries sustained in car accidents. So, while one might assume that a law exists for tool tethering to prevent tool drop-related accidents, there isn’t a law currently. 

Proper tool tethering likely isn’t the first thing on the minds of busy workers on job sites. 

Maybe they know all about what could happen if a tool is dropped from a height. They might even be aware of when they should be tethering their tools. 

Despite this knowledge, the fact remains that dropped tools are still a considerable problem. 

Most of the time, on the job site, efficiency and productivity are paramount. 

This means refining processes need to be as seamless as possible. Implementing a process with the fewest amount of steps possible for achieving a particular goal is critical when we are trying to get the most out of our teams. Combined together, these ingredients lend themselves toward maintaining and operating an efficient job site. 

One area that should never be overlooked, however, is job site safety.
