Engineered Fall Protection Systems
Liftsafe has an in-house engineering team that consults with clients to develop customized fall protection systems for unique applications that require it. Custom Engineered Fall Protection Solutions can be used for a wide range of applications that can be separated into two different categories. Active and Passive.
Passive systems like RoofGuard or Flatbed Truck Netting require no participation or specialized training from an employee. Active systems will require any combination of harnesses, lanyards and up to date training from your employees in order to meet the requirements outlined by the government.

3 Steps To Fall Protection Compliance
1. EVALUATE YOUR FALL PROTECTION NEEDS:
- Plan ahead to get the job done safely.
- Assess areas on your rooftop that require access.
2. ASSESS THE RISKS:
- Are my employees or contractors at risk of a fall?
- Am I exposing my company to unnecessary fines?
3. IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION:
- Provide the right fall protection equipment.
When is fall protection required?
Most jurisdictions require the use of specific fall protection measures before, or in addition to, personal protective equipment (PPE). These measures generally include the use of some of the following:
- fixed barriers (e.g., handrails, guardrails),
- surface opening protection (e.g., covers, guardrails, etc.),
- warning barriers/control zones,
- fall or travel restraint systems (i.e., a system to prevent a worker from falling from a work position, or from travelling to an unguarded edge from which the worker could fall),
- fall containment system (e.g., safety nets),
- fall arrest systems (i.e., a system that will stop a worker’s fall before the worker hits the surface below).
There may also be specific legal requirements around use of equipment like ladders and scaffolding.
Occupational health and safety laws generally require action when a worker has the potential to fall about 3 metres (10 feet). In most cases, fall protection is required when:
- other means of fall protection are not available or possible, such as guardrails,
- working at a height of 3 metres or more (permanent and/or temporary work areas),
- working at a height of less than 3 metres when the surface below could cause a greater injury than just the fall (e.g., machinery; risk of drowning in water or other liquid; open tanks, vats, or pits containing hazardous materials; materials that can shift),
- a worker may fall through an opening in the work surface,
- it is determined that fall protection is necessary.
More information on fall protection can be found at the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety.
