Revolutionizing Connections in FALL PROTECTION..

A popular phrase in fall protection is- “Your system is as strong as the strength of its weakest link”.
Hence it is extremely important to recognize the “weak link” in your system to ensure that it is strong enough to
sustain the impact of a fall!

A close analysis of failure of connectors has
revealed that when a fall took place, the
Connector did not necessarily get impacted
only along its major load bearing axis as

Instead, the impact of force was also felt Crack on the

Existing Norms like ISI & EN only test the connector along its major
load bearing axis for its static strength, the strength along the other
planes have been overlooked.
But KARAM understands that falls take place not entirely adhering to
laboratory conditions.

KARAM has therefore ventured to think beyond just the
requirement of the Norms, and instead worked towards solving
the problem so as to ensure complete safety of a worker working
