A fall protection compliance system includes a connection structure configured for interfacing an anchor structure and a connection sensor associated with the connection structure. The connection sensor includes an accelerometer or a pressure switch, where the connection sensor is configured to monitor continued connection of the connection structure to the anchor structure over a period of time and to output a signal indicating said continued connection.

Fall protection compliance system and method

A fall protection compliance system includes a connection structure configured for interfacing a connector comprising a frame and a connection sensor assembly. The connection structure includes a connection loop, a connection anchor, and a housing. The housing includes an identification element. The connection sensor assembly includes at least one short-range wireless communication antenna and a control device. The control device includes at least one processor which is configured to receive connection data from the short-range wireless communication antenna, determine a connection status of the connector based on the connection data and perform at least one action based on the connection status.

A safety helmet includes an outer shell configured for surrounding a head of a user, and an infrared reflective layer disposed in an interior of the outer shell. The infrared reflective layer is configured for reflecting at a least a portion of incident infrared radiation transmitted through the outer shell. The infrared reflective layer has infrared reflectivity of at least 40%. The safety helmet further may have an evaporative cooling pad positioned within a cavity defined by the inner surface of the outer shell. A method of manufacturing a safety helmet is also disclosed.
