Always Use Fall Protection
Although OSHA
OSHA regulations generally require workers to use
fall protection when exposed to a fall of six feet or more, we
strongly recommend using fall-arrest protection when
working at any elevated position.
Know the appropriate regulations. Learn about the types
of protective equipment and systems which must be used on
the job. OSHA requires employers to know and follow the
OSHA regulations pertaining to their industry and to provide
a workplace free from hazards that might cause injuries.

Wire Aircraft Cable is made of 5/16" (8mm) diameter
galvanized steel cable that is vinyl covered for protection
against abrasion. It provides excellent resistance to heat,
chemicals, paints, and solvents. It also resists molten metal
splatter and open flame, although the vinyl coating may melt
or char. Aircraft cable will not resist the flame of a torch.
