Portwest Construction Kit

Product Overview

Safety at height is not a matter for half-measures. The FP65 Construction Kit is a comprehensive solution designed to provide professional-grade fall protection for those working in demanding environments. This kit brings together essential components that ensure both security and mobility, allowing you to focus on the task at hand without compromising on safety protocols. Produced in the United Kingdom, it reflects a high standard of manufacturing reliability.

Key Features

• The 2 Point Harness Comfort Plus offers multiple attachment points, ensuring a secure and ergonomic fit that distributes forces effectively during a fall.
• A single lanyard equipped with a carabiner and scaffold hook provides a reliable connection for fixed-point anchoring, simplifying securement on various structures.
• The double lanyard featuring a shock absorber and scaffold hooks allows for continuous attachment, ensuring you remain connected to a safe anchor point even while transitioning between positions.
• A dedicated nylon drawstring bag is included to protect your equipment from dust and debris when not in use, making transport to and from the site straightforward.

Design & Performance

This kit is engineered for resilience. The harness is constructed from high-tenacity materials designed to withstand the rigours of daily site work while remaining comfortable enough for extended shifts. The inclusion of a shock absorber in the double lanyard is a critical performance feature, as it manages the energy of a fall to reduce the impact on the wearer's body.

The components are substantial and sturdy, reflecting the professional nature of height safety equipment. The black colourway provides a professional, understated appearance, while the heavy-duty metalwork of the hooks and carabiners ensures long-term durability in harsh conditions.

Why No Customisation?

We do not offer customisation, such as embroidery or printing, on this Construction Kit. Fall protection equipment is subject to stringent safety standards; any puncture of the webbing or chemical application from printing could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the harness or lanyards. Furthermore, customisation could obscure critical safety labels and inspection dates which are mandatory for compliance checks.

Use Cases

This kit is specifically designed for professionals in the construction and scaffolding industries who require reliable fall arrest systems. It is also suitable for maintenance engineers and telecommunications technicians who find themselves working on elevated platforms or structures where a secondary point of attachment is necessary for continuous safety.

Practical Advice

When donning the harness, ensure all straps are adjusted to fit snugly but without restricting movement. It is often helpful to have a colleague check the fit of the rear attachment point. If you are wearing bulky winter clothing, you may need to re-adjust the harness to ensure it remains effective. Always perform a thorough inspection of all components before every shift.

Caring for your product

Maintaining your fall protection equipment is essential for ensuring its life-saving performance and longevity. Regular inspection is the most critical part of caring for this kit; you must look for signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical damage to the webbing, as these can significantly weaken the system.

Store the kit in the provided nylon bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. UV exposure can degrade synthetic fibres over time, potentially reducing the breaking strength of the harness. Similarly, ensure the equipment is dry before storage to prevent the growth of mould or mildew, which can damage the material integrity.

Clean the metal components with a damp cloth to remove grit and salt, which could lead to corrosion or jamming of the gates on the carabiners and hooks. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these may react with the synthetic materials and compromise your safety.
