Compliance with regulatory fall protection requirements is crucial for industries that involve working at heights. Here are the basic fall protection regulations for Canadian provinces.

No two buildings are a like, therefore neither are the fall hazards presented in the work requirements within the structure of each of those buildings.

As a result, Height Works offers its clients a variety of solutions to solve the everyday fall hazards and working at height challenges that are presented. 

In the simplest way, we can say that rigid and flexible fall protection systems provide the same objective – at least in theory.  Both types of systems are designed to provide a fall arrest for work-at-height workers.  But to say that they provide the exact same result while their dollar value differs is a completely different conversation. 

Both systems have very huge differences in their overall performance, and there are a couple of key differences that impact their overall performance.

As best practices have evolved over the years, most building owners of aging buildings are choosing to install fall protection systems to ensure that their employees and/or contractors are safe while working-at-heights on their property.

Because falls from heights, and most specifically from roofs are the leading cause of critical accident and death in construction, we’ve put together a list of our top 10 safety tips for roof workers.
