Certified Fall Protection Equipment Inspections & Testing

Key to managing your organization's risk while ensuring the safety of your employees.

Ensure your organization’s risk is minimized—and your team is protected—this season.

Gearing up for spring doesn’t just mean making sure your team has new equipment they need to work at heights; it also means that the existing engineered systems and their personal protective equipment (PPE) have received annual inspections, testing, and certification for continued use. 

At Height Works Ltd., we deliver comprehensive inspection, testing, and certification services designed to help organizations like yours stay compliant, manage liability, and—most importantly—keep your team safe while working at heights.

At Height Works, we offer fall protection equipment inspection, testing, and certification services for:

  • Suspended Access Equipment Certification
    • Ensure all davits, swing stages, and support systems meet CSA and local jurisdictional requirements.
  • Fall Protection Equipment Certification
    • Harnesses, lanyards, lifelines, anchors, and SRLs must be tested and tagged annually. We inspect for damage, wear, and compliance.
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
    • Identify flaws in critical hardware or engineered systems without compromising structural integrity.
  • NFPA Fire Department Testing
    • Specialized compliance testing for emergency services, rope rescue teams, and high-angle technical operations.

According to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), falls continue to happen despite prevention efforts. The top five contributing factors include

  1. Fall protection gear is unavailable, misused, or not used at all

  2. Missing or inadequate engineered fall protection systems like guardrails

  3. Improper use of ladders, scaffolds, or faulty equipment

  4. Environmental hazards like poor lighting or slippery surfaces

  5. Poor work practices, rushed deadlines, or lack of training

Height Works addresses these hazards with certified fall protection equipment inspections and comprehensive training services.

Focusing on the top three points from the above list are just some of the reasons why those of us at Height Works are passionate about fall protection! 

If we were to assume that an organization provides adequate fall protection equipment and/or systems to protect their work-at-height employees, then we should also be able to assume that proactively engaging in annual inspections of the same fall protection equipment or systems is equally valuable, or yet - even life-saving!

Full Protection Equipment Inspections Aren’t Optional—They’re Life Saving

Even if your organization has equipped employees with compliant PPE or installed engineered systems, annual inspections and certifications are required by law and critical to your safety program.

Let’s be clear:

✅ New equipment must be tested before being placed in service.

✅ Existing equipment must be recertified annually—or after exposure to damage, impact, or harsh conditions.

Whether you’re managing building operations, industrial plants, construction projects, or confined space rescue teams, we provide practical solutions that meet CSA, ANSI, OSHA, and NFPA standards.
