Fall Protection Plan: Navigating Through Workplace Safety with the Experts at Safety Rail Company

When it comes to initiating a fall protection plan, nobody is better equipped to assist you from beginning to end than the experienced team at SRC

Fall Protection Planning

The fall protection industry is a tricky world to navigate, particularly for a safety manager or facility coordinator with no experience in rooftop safety or creating a fall protection plan.

Firstly, there are a seemingly endless number of product choices and safety strategies. The initial question you must ask yourself is: Do I want an active or passive fall-protection system? An active strategy involves employees interacting with the equipment each and every time work must be done on the roof. Examples of this includes fall-arrest and fall-restraint systems, complete with harnesses and lifelines.

On its surface, this may seem like a quick and easy way to guarantee your workers’ safety; and there’s no doubt that active fall-protection systems save lives. However, it’s also true that this strategy is the most prone to user error or negligence. Simply instituting a personal protective equipment (PPE) procedure does not guarantee that your workers will follow it each and every time maintenance is performed on the roof. Unfortunately, one oversight could be the difference between life and death.

Furthermore, according to OSHA’s hierarchy of controls, fall-restraint and fall-arrest systems rank lower than passive fall protection systems, such as guardrails. Why? Guardrails protect all workers, all the time, with no engagement required from the user.

Making Your Facility Safe and Compliant

So, you’ve chosen a fall protection safety plan. Now what? Deciding on a passive fall protection system is just the first step; determining which products are right for your facility can be a tricky process. How do you know what you need?

This is where Safety Rail Company separates itself from the competition with our comprehensive customer service and vast industry experience.
