Fall Protection Solutions & Safety Gear

Your commitment to protecting workers at heights is the first step in building a safer job site. Whether you’re planning for a confined space entry or outfitting a rooftop crew with the right gear, Height Works Ltd. offers industry-proven fall protection solutions designed to exceed expectations in every environment.

From safety harnesses to ladder safety systems, this guide outlines the critical safety equipment your team needs and why safety inspection services and inspection testing services are just as important as the gear itself.

What Safety Equipment Is Required for Working at Heights?

Working at height requires more than just courage—it demands precision, planning, and expert fall safety solutions. The primary equipment categories include:

Safety Harnesses

The cornerstone of any height safety solution, a well-fitted harness distributes fall forces evenly and helps prevent injury. Choose from single-point, two-point, and rescue-rated harnesses depending on your site-specific needs.

Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs)

Ideal for mobile work on fixed ladders, scaffolding, and rooftops, SRLs lock instantly in the event of a fall and limit free-fall distance, improving overall fall protection support.

Confined Space Equipment

Kits with tripods, winches, and rescue blocks are crucial for workers entering tanks, silos, or underground vaults. These are designed to meet confined space safety standards while enabling rapid rescue if necessary.

Ladder Safety Systems

Systems like Tractel’s Stopcable provide vertical lifeline protection on fixed ladders, ensuring workers remain anchored throughout ascent or descent.

Roof Anchors & Connectors

From permanent horizontal lifelines to portable anchor systems, choosing the right anchor point is vital to securing a fall protection system that works as hard as your crew.

Safety Gates and Guardrails

These fall protection solutions eliminate the hazard altogether by preventing access to unsafe areas without the need for PPE.

When Should Fall Protection Be Used?

Fall protection must be used anytime a worker is exposed to a fall risk, typically:

• When working at heights over 3 metres (10 feet)

• Near unprotected edges or skylights

• When climbing ladders or scaffolds

• Inside confined spaces

• During maintenance or inspections on rooftops, towers, and industrial structures

The right fall safety solution is determined not just by the height, but also by the type of work being done and the environmental conditions.

Selecting the Right Safety Harness for the Job

Every role requires a different configuration. For example:

• Construction crews often benefit from front & rear D-ring harnesses with tool loops.

• Wind technicians working in remote environments need comfort-fit harnesses with built-in rescue loops.

• Tower rescue teams require harnesses rated for suspension and retrieval.

Pairing Horizontal Lifelines with Proper PPE

Horizontal lifelines are effective for large rooftops or bridge maintenance, but they must be used with the correct shock-absorbing lanyards and anchorage connectors for optimal fall arrest performance.

Fall Protection Support: Inspection & Compliance Services

Fall protection is not “set it and forget it.” Every system must be backed by certified safety inspection services and routine inspection testing services to ensure compliance with CSA, ANSI, and OSHA standards.

Height Works Ltd. offers:

• Annual inspections & recertification of fall protection equipment

• On-site compliance audits for permanent systems

• Fall protection training and program reviews tailored to your industry
