The Norseman Gibb Safety Hook is already established as a marine industry standard for safety, with its' Double Action locking system, which ensures that the hook latches securely, even in the most extreme alignment or applications. It offers single handed operation and the enclosed eye is designed to accept either webbing or rope.
Following comprehensive evaluation and testing, the Gibb 1077 Safety Hook now complies with the more stringent requirements of BS EN 362:1993, which is the European Standard for connectors for useful on Personal Protective Equipment (P.P.E.), against falls from heights. This standard, sometimes referred to as the Industrial Standard, is more demanding in its' requirement for the connector to withstand a load of 15KN (1.5 tonnes) with the latch open.
Under the European Directive on P.P.E. complex items or life preserving items must undergo type approval and certification by a Notified Body. The Gibb 1077 Safety Hook now has a CE mark to certify that it has been approved.
