Safety Alert:
URS Washington Division PRODUCT DEFECT This 6’ Capital Safety- (Protecta) anchorage connector for fall protection was found by one of our Ironworkers during his pre-use PPE inspection. Two have been found to be defective from the factory: The eye in the wire rope, formed with the connectors which are crimped, pulled loose during the inspection. This obviously renders it completely ineffective. We suggest pulling all of these from use and storage immediately and inspecting them. We have notified the vendor and are waiting for further instructions once he makes contact with the manufacturer.
