Global height safety specialist Guardian announced a partnership with Sweden-based twICEme® Technology AB that integrates technology allowing end users to enter personal data into Guardian’s B7-Comfort Harness, planned to start shipping to customers in late April. In the event the person becomes incapacitated due to a medical or traumatic event, bystanders and first responders can access this data by tapping the twICEme symbol displayed on the equipment with a smartphone. Data such as allergies, previous injuries, emergency contacts, product information and more can all be uploaded to the user’s profile via the twICEme app. Guardian Senior Product Manager Sean Wirth observes Guardian is the first fall-protection company in North America to incorporate twICEme’s innovative safety technology into its harnesses. “As 360-degree height safety experts, we need to think about all aspects of safety, including rescue and post-fall,” Wirth says. Guardian’s new B7 Harness was introduced at the 2023 World of Concrete Expo in Las Vegas in January.
