At MCS Safety Systems Ltd, we know that having the right fall protection system in place is only half the job – the people using it need to be properly trained too.
That’s why, when Swissport contracted us to install a Tractel Travsafe overhead fall arrest system at their Manchester Airport site, we made sure their team was fully equipped to use it safely and confidently.
What is the Tractel Travsafe System?
Travsafe is a horizontal lifeline system designed to provide continuous fall protection for people working at height. It allows workers to move freely while remaining safely connected, reducing the risk of falls in hazardous environments like aircraft maintenance workshops.
Once installed, it creates a secure, compliant working area where employees can carry out their jobs with minimal disruption and maximum safety.
Installation and Training: A Complete Solution
Our work didn’t stop at installation. Safety systems are only effective if people know how to use them correctly, so we delivered comprehensive harness training and operational guidance to Swissport’s workshop staff.
This ensured they understood not only how the system worked but also how to inspect and use their harnesses properly, reducing the risk of misuse or non-compliance.
Why This Matters
Falls from height remain one of the most common workplace accidents, and in busy, high-risk environments like airports, there’s no room for uncertainty. By installing the right safety systems and providing proper training, we help businesses create safer workplaces, reduce risk, and stay fully compliant with regulations.
A big thanks to Swissport for trusting us with this project.
If your organisation needs a fall protection system installed the right way – by qualified professionals who prioritise safety and compliance – get in touch. We’d love to help.
