The Canadian Museum of Human Rights, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is a unique, one-of-a-kind, architecturally constructed edifice. The museum's exquisite architecture includes curved walls, limitless windows, numerous levels, and a pond that reflects water. It looks great from both the outside and the inside.

 

The topic of inspecting your soft goods is important because annual inspections will identify safety issues that could affect the safety performance of the equipment your work-at-height employees use, and ultimately affect their safety while they are working at heights.

Height Works offers a variety of Inspection and Testing Services designed to help our clients’ organizations manage their risk, while ensuring the safety of their employees.

Whether our clients have new equipment that need to be tested and commissioned, or existing equipment that requires its annual recertification, Height Works’ inspection and testing personnel can provide practical inspection and testing solutions to meet all our client’s needs...

Just focusing on the top 3 reasons why workers continue to fall on the job is exactly why Height Works is as passionate as we are about Fall Protection!

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.

Ever wonder what types of fall protection challenges exist in a commercial bakery?   Well, there’s a few.  Especially when the bread oven being discussed is about 9ft tall and about 60ft wide and requires safe servicing by an expert maintenance team.

An unusual risk is anything that can cause harm or hazard to an employee while they’re working, even if their work is taking place below the specified minimum height requirement by each province as outlined by OH&S.

Rescue planning is essential to have in place for new engineered and existing fall arrest systems, and equally as important to have a rescue plan in place while these fall arrest systems undergo their annual inspections and re-certification services.
