What is our Fall Protection System designed for?
- Fall Protection when installing roofing(metal buildings) or decking(structural steel)
- 100% tie off across entire roof/working surface
- Raised life line to reduce trip hazards and entanglement
- Life line height also reduces freefall distance, therefore reducing forces sustained by worker if a fall should occur
Some methods most commonly used in the field are subpar at best. You will usually see crews pull a cable across the roof at foot level, and tie each end to a rafter or column. While this does work, it is not efficient, and increases the potential for trips, hang-ups, and potential injury. Lower cable also means longer free fall distance. When free fall distance is increased, so are the forces that worker will sustain. We have also observed that a lot of the equipment being used for fall protection in the field is not compliant with OSHA standards, which can lead to equipment failure and possible death. Unfortunately there are some who don't use any fall protection at all, risking their lives and fellow workers lives in the process.
Stay Safe!
