Fall Protection Systems for Agriculture Operations
Engineered Safety for Grain Terminals, Silos, Barns & Farm Infrastructure
Working at height in agriculture isn’t seasonal—it’s daily. Whether you're servicing grain bins, repairing roof panels, climbing ladders on harvesters, or maintaining conveyors, the risks are significant and the margins for error are extremely narrow.
At Height Works Ltd., we understand the working realities of ag operations across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and BC. Our certified fall protection systems are engineered to meet CSA standards—while adapting to the challenges unique to rural job sites, equipment variability, and agricultural seasons.
Why Fall Protection Is Critical in Agriculture
Unprotected Vertical Access to Silos & Bins
Ladders on silos, barns, and tanks are often exposed. One slip could be life-altering.
Outdated Infrastructure & DIY Modifications
Many ag buildings were built before safety codes evolved. Retrofits are often cobbled together, not compliant.
Seasonal Labor & Limited Training
Temporary crews and aging farmers may not be trained in modern PPE or anchor systems.
