How to use the S - T OOLS S YSTEMS tool holding accessories
The S-Tools Systems range was developed to hold any type of tool that may accidentally fall.
In fact, objects dropped by workers are the second largest cause of worker deaths in the
workplace. The consequences of a falling object are often underestimated. Dropping a work
tool also means the risk of destroying the tool, and possible damage to property can also have
serious consequences in terms of costs, as well as lost time when workers leave their work
station to retrieve their tool.
When the consequences of dropping tools cannot be prevented (using nets, marked out area,
etc.), our S-Tools Systems range should be used.
WARNING: The use of these tool-holding lanyards does not exempt you from the obligation
to wear PPE, in particular safety helmets.
Fundamental steps:
Directive 2001/45/EC §4.4.d
: "the tools and other accessories to be used by a worker [at height] must be secured to the worker's
harness or seat or by some other appropriate means".

Choosing the anchor point
1) Choosing the attachment point on the tool:
• This may be a hole on the handle or the body of the tool,
• Or the body of the tool may serve as an attachment point.
• If the above options are not available, the attachment point must be created on the tool directly:
2) Choosing the connection (accessory and/or tool lanyard):
The lanyard connection must be selected based on the weight of the tool, the attachment on the tool (see § 1), the length
necessary for use and the anchor point.
