Fall Protection and Safety System Services

Guardrails

Guardrails offer a highly effective passive roof fall protection measure that provides workers with a continuous, hands-free option on rooftops or elevated platforms. They act as a physical barrier, preventing accidental falls and a clear, safe working area.

Horizontal Lifelines

Horizontal lifelines are versatile active fall protection systems for workers moving along a direct path. Consisting of a cable line between two anchors, these systems allow workers to remain attached at all times, reducing the risk of falls from significant heights.

Monorail Systems

These systems consist of a single rail that allows a carriage to move along its length. Workers can attach themselves to the carriage, ensuring continuous security while elevated. Monorail systems also improve work efficiency by enabling smoother and more controlled movement along the rail.

Overhead Fall Protection

Overhead fall protection systems utilize an overhead cable or track to which a worker connects a harness. This configuration enables a wide range of movement, but in the event of a slip or fall, the system quickly stops the fall, protecting the worker from injury.

Stanchion Anchors

These portable devices can be securely attached to structural points, such as roof seams, offering a dependable anchor point to connect a worker’s fall prevention system. They are essential to a comprehensive roofing fall protection plan, ensuring a safer work environment for those working at height.

Davit Arms

Davit arms provide an overhead anchor point that can be used for lowering, lifting, and supporting personnel or equipment. They offer a secure and reliable solution for fall arrest, rescue, and material handling operations, making them a valuable addition to any safety system.

Rigging Sleeves

Rigging sleeves can accommodate various anchoring devices, providing a reliable connection for fall arrest systems. Rigging sleeves not only enhance worker safety but also provide flexibility and ease of movement, ensuring operational efficiency while prioritizing the well-being of personnel.

Outrigger Beams

These sturdy beams extend beyond the edge of a structure, providing a secure anchor point for equipment or personnel. The outer location of these beams allows workers to access difficult-to-reach areas safely, offering both lateral and vertical movement.
