Syam has more than 15 years of expertise in occupational risk prevention throughout the world.
The company designs, manufactures, markets and trains workers in the use of all its personal protection equipment: fall arresters, harnesses, lifelines, lanyards, and most of all our patented Mobile Anchoring System, the SYAM.
PAINFUL
BEGINNINGS
The history of SYAM, while becoming beautiful, unfortunately began with a tragedy. In 2005, in the Saint-Etienne region, a young 27-year-old joiner fell from several floors and died. Leaving behind his two children and his pregnant wife.
THINGS HAVE
TO CHANGE
The news acted like a detonator on Xavier Julliard, then a joinery teacher. “How can I continue to train students knowing that they will risk their lives in the exercise of their profession because of a lack of security?”
FINDING
THE SOLUTION
After two years of research, Xavier Julliard found the solution, SYAM. A mobile anchoring system to ensure the safety of all workers at height. Because of its ease of transport and installation, the SYAM is the tool not to be missed in an environment where 50% of accidents occur in interventions lasting less than 5 minutes.
AN ENDORSED
SOLUTION
Patented at international level, this innovation is now used and appreciated by thousands of companies of all types (VSEs, SMEs, multinationals, public services, fire brigades, police, etc.).
BUT THE STORY IS NOT OVER...
A company at the heart of TRUST AT HEIGHT®.
In 2018, Syam joined the group FRÉNÉHARD & MICHAUX. The companies within the Group share a common industrial tradition, significant expertise in aluminium and steel work, as well as the same focus on working at height. They manufacture products such as scaffolding and roofing accessories which can be used by professionals in total safety on their work sites.
24 international sites throughout Europe allow the Frénéhard & Michaux Group to provide customers with the products they need, no matter where they are.
