A complete fall protection system depends on four critical components—and overlooking just one can put workers at risk. One of those components is also the one that's most often forgotten... and it only becomes important after a fall occurs. Our latest blog breaks down the A-B-C-Ds of Fall Protection and explains why each piece plays a vital role in keeping workers safe. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲.

🏗️ 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 The best customer relationships are built long before a product is delivered. For the past three construction seasons, 𝗕𝗼𝗯 𝗗𝗲𝗟𝗲𝗼𝗻 and the 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵 team have partnered with the team at Walsh Construction on the 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘆𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮—providing the expertise, equipment, and support needed to help keep this massive rehabilitation project moving safely and efficiently. Throughout the project, CERTEX has supplied a wide range of PPE and fall protection equipment while also working alongside engineers and consultants to develop both standard and custom rigging solutions for unique lifting challenges. When the project required a specialized set of gas-powered capstan winches, Bob tracked down exactly what the team needed to keep the work progressing. During this year's Safety Week, Walsh invited Bob to continue that partnership by leading a Lunch & Learn on the 𝗔𝗕𝗖'𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. With support from 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝗜𝗣 and a hands-on demonstration trailer, the session gave crews practical training they could immediately apply on the job. The Fordyce Dam Seepage Mitigation Project is a $100 million rehabilitation effort for 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 (𝗣𝗚&𝗘) in California's Tahoe National Forest, where safety, planning, and collaboration are essential to success. Thank you to the teams at Walsh and PG&E for trusting CERTEX to be part of this incredible project. We appreciate the opportunity to support your crews with the products, expertise, and service needed to help get the job done safely. 👇 𝗧𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗫 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵, 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. #CERTEX #CustomerSolutions #Rigging #FallProtection #PPE #ConstructionSafety #SafetyTraining #Engineering #LiftingSolutions #WorkSafe #WalshConstruction #PIPGlobalSafety #MillerFallProtection

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸. Most lifting jobs can be handled with standard slings and rigging hardware. But what happens when the load is oversized, off-center, has limited lift points, or presents other unique challenges? Trying to "make something work" can introduce unnecessary safety risks, increase downtime, and even damage valuable equipment. Sometimes the safest and most efficient solution isn't on the shelf—it's engineered specifically for the lift. In our latest blog, we explore: ✔️ When standard rigging reaches its limits ✔️ What custom rigging solutions can include ✔️ Why engineering and proof testing matter ✔️ How custom solutions can improve safety, efficiency, and load control If you've ever faced a lift that seemed impossible, this article is worth the read. 👇 See the link to the full article in the comments. #Rigging #LiftingSolutions #EngineeredSolutions #ConstructionSafety #Manufacturing #HeavyLifting #IndustrialSafety #CertexUSA

And when customers call or walk through the door, they can expect quick service backed by serious experience. Between four office team members alone, the branch brings more than 120 combined years of rigging industry knowledge to the table. 👏 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 • 𝗣𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗼 – With 45 years of outside sales experience — including 34 years with CERTEX — Pat has become a trusted name in the South Florida rigging market.

🔧 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀. At CERTEX, delivering custom lifting solutions often requires more than great products—it takes collaboration, expertise, and a commitment to getting the job done right. Recently, our 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 fabricated and load tested twelve 2-3/4" wire rope slings with hawser thimbles for a customer project secured by our 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺. It was a great example of branches working together to deliver the right solution for the customer. At the same time, our 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 took on a demanding custom order for a local steel mill, fabricating 36 seven-part wire rope slings in just 2.5 days. These complex slings require a high level of skill and precision, and the team delivered exceptional craftsmanship while meeting an accelerated timeline. Whether it's supporting a customer with a custom sling configuration or responding quickly to a time-sensitive project, our goal remains the same: provide dependable solutions that help keep our customers working safely, efficiently, and on schedule. Great work to everyone involved. 👉 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?
