Are You Using Fall Protection Properly?

Are your employees properly protected from fall hazards?

Are you absolutely sure that your equipment is up to OSHA Regulations and ANSI Standards, and your employees properly equipped for fall protection?

There’s nothing worse than a false sense of security, especially when working at great heights. There are many occasions when workers think they’re protected but might be lacking proper equipment – whether it’s an ill-fitting body harness, or unsecured railings.

How can you be sure you’re not putting your employees at risk?

Innovative Engineering Inc. Can Provide Efficient Fall Protection


Innovative Engineering Inc. is a trusted Structural Engineering resource of facility owners and managers of all sizes, including some of those with the nation’s largest real estate portfolios. We strive to be a true partner to our clients, providing them with honest assessments, and more importantly, sound solutions.

To eliminate fall hazards, working from the ground or locating equipment in interstitial space is the most effective. Preventing falls using guardrails, covers, barriers, and flat surfaces is also effective. Less effective but still viable options are using fall arrest and nets (not a cure all, as everything must work perfectly to prevent fatalities), and warnings – which are essentially no protection – and relying only on worker behavior and human nature.
