Tool safety where the stakes are highest

In petrochemical and industrial plants, every fastener up a tower matters. A dropped tool can cost equipment, time, and in the worst case, lives — and on ATEX sites it can mean far more.

When a tool drop becomes a hazard

Process installations stack people, hot lines, and reactive materials at every level. A dropped tool isn't just damage — it's a potential ignition source or shutdown trigger.

GRIPPS tool tethering is designed to meet the strict safety requirements of ATEX environments and process installations, including spark-free hardware where required.

Engineered for turnarounds, not just inspections

From a quick valve check at height to a 21-day full shutdown, the tethering you use has to keep up.

Our kits are built for repeated daily use across confined spaces, scaffolds, and reactor vessels.
