Fall Protection for Airports & Ocean Ports
Securing Elevated Operations in High-Traffic, High-Risk Zones
At major infrastructure hubs like airports and ocean ports, safety isn’t just a compliance requirement—it’s a logistics necessity. These environments are dynamic, time-sensitive, and highly vertical. From terminal rooftops to aircraft hangars, container cranes to maintenance platforms, fall protection must be engineered, certified, and built to work without disrupting operations.
At Height Works Ltd., we specialize in engineered fall protection systems that meet CSA Z259 standards, protect your crews, and maintain operational uptime across Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
Airport & Port Safety: Complex Structures, Elevated Risk
Maintenance on Elevated Surfaces
From jet bridges to rooftop HVAC systems, routine maintenance puts workers at height—often exposed to winds and weather.
Temporary Work Zones with High Turnover
Seasonal upgrades, expansions, and contractor crews create shifting safety needs.
Cargo Areas with Overhead Rigging & Loading
Ports require overhead anchoring systems for container inspections, crane work, and bridge access.

Every minute of downtime costs airports and ports thousands in diverted cargo, grounded flights, or delayed shipments. That’s why our solutions prioritize:
-
Minimal disruption to tarmac, hangar, and cargo bay activity
-
Durable components for exposure to ocean salt, jet fuel, and wind
-
Compliance with CSA Z259 & OH&S for federally and provincially regulated environments
-
Fast procurement & installation timelines with ongoing support
Safety Stats That Hit Home
Over 6% of reported injuries at Canadian airports involve work at height
Port workers experience 2x higher fall-related injuries than the national average
CSA mandates annual inspection of fall arrest systems and anchorage points
Don’t let outdated or temporary systems risk the health of your team or your facility’s liability.
