History

In 1997 Safe Site BV was founded by the brothers David and Emile Sassenburg. They started selling fall arrest harnesses, hooks and lines.
These products were sold successfully from a small storage building in Capelle a/d IJssel. Soon the brothers started offering other services in
the area of fall protection: training, inspection and installation. Since then Safe Site BV has grown and become all round in fall protection with
around 20 employees.

Company milestones:

1999 Safe Site moves to a building in Alblasserdam. The first employees are being hired; large installation orders are acquired.

2002 Safe Site has grown steadily and more space is needed. The company moves to the current property at the Staalindustrieweg in Alblasserdam.
This location accommodates a large indoor training platform. A training pylon of 23 metres high is erected on the premises.

2005 Safe Site start the business unit Safe Maintain, following the growing demand for works carried out on virtually inaccessible locations.
