Lightweight, comfortable, and durable safety harness The new IGNITE SKYFIZZ has extremely durable front and rear anchorage points made of sturdy steel. Due to the individual adjustment, the central d-ring sits optimally on the body. The comfortable and breathable back and leg pads makes it suitable for distributing weight when work positioning and suspension. The double-wrapped and firmly sewn terminations secure loose webbing and prevent slippage. The IGNITE SKYFIZZ
is independently tested to meet ANSI Z359.11, ANSI Z359.3 and CSA Z259.10.

Secure bolting solutions
Nord-Lock Group offers four key technologies: Nord-Lock original wedge- locking washers with wedge locking technology that makes unintentional loosening impossible, even when exposed to severe vibration and dynamic loads. Superbolt mechanical tensioners that can accurately and safely achieve high preloads while using only hand tools. Expander System pivot pin replacements that provide a permanent solution to lug wear eliminating the
need for expensive welding and line boring, and Boltight hydraulic tensioning tools which can provide a low profile solution for space-restricted applications demanding high and accurate preloads, such as wind turbines.

Long lasting, self- lubricating piston system The WECS Super Piston system is a solution to the repair materials needed
to eliminate fog-horning and costly repetitive replacement of the pads and pistons systems required for the GE 1X platform nacelle yaw operations. The
new design incorporates the function of the brass piston and various types of skid puck designs into one single long lasting, self-lubricating, non-vibrating light weight system that reduces the mean-time-to- replace and removes easily. A brass-piston removal kit is also available. Similar yaw brake mechanical systems are supported by other WECS Renewables designed pads. WECS also can provide solutions to replacement of IEC motor frames, cooling systems, IGBT systems specialty tools,
and more for all turbine platforms. WECS supports all North American construction efforts with a wide array of MV and substation components also.

Elevator safety and training
Highly trained elevator mechanics from the International Union of Elevator Constructors not
only keep elevators running, they keep them running efficiently, and above all else, safely. They have over 28,000 trained professionals with over 8000 on the job hours and over 2500 classroom hours. Whether it’s installation, repair, maintenance, or inspections they are ready to serve. As well as compliance and safety inspections and repairs across the US, their staff sits on the ASME A17.8 committee that writes the codes for these elevators.
