Independent Testing
Due to the safety critical nature of fall arrest systems, ensure your system manufacturer can confirm 100% independent testing of products and systems, given the prolific practise of copy-cat top fix post technology, self certification is not best practise.
ALL Roodsafe products and systems are independently tested by a recognised test house.
