Anchor Points
Our process doesn’t stop at installation. Our team is here to offer repairs, inspections and pull testing on your anchor point system (done through our sister company, Liftsafe Engineering and Service Group) to ensure it remains safety compliant. All inspections and reports can be accessed through our Liftsafe Customer Portal.

12.07 (1) Subject to subsection (2), an employer must provide or put in place a fall-protection system if work is to be performed
- (a) from a structure or on a vehicle at a height of 3 m or more;
- (b) from a ladder at a height of 3 m or more if, because of the nature of the work, the person performing it is unable to use at least one hand to hold onto the ladder; or
- (c) at a height of less than 3 m if the surface onto which the person might fall would present a greater risk of injury than a solid, flat surface.

TYPES OF FALL PROTECTION
Hazard Elimination
Changing the work process so the hazard no longer exists (e.g., building a roof on the ground and hoisting it into place)
Guardrails, Protective Covers, and Warning Barriers
Prevents a fall from unprotected edges or openings at heights.
Travel Restraint System
Allows a worker to reach the edge of a fall hazard but not fall over it.
Fall Restricting System
Designed to limit a fall distance to 0.6 m (2 ft).
Fall Arrest System
Designed to stop the fall of a worker before they hit the ground or objects below.
Safety Net
Designed to catch a falling worker before they hit the ground or objects below.
Passive Vs Active Fall Protection
When a hazard assessment is completed, and a need for fall protection is established, there are two general types of systems that can solve the need and keep the workers safe, passive or active fall protection.
Passive Fall Protection
Active Fall Protection

Mobile Fall Protection Systems
Standard and custom mobile fall protection systems that can be adapted for multiple applications. For use when maintaining aircraft, railroad cars, industrial equipment, or heavy machinery.
Pick Module Fall Arrest System
The Pick Module Fall Arrest system is seamless which makes for smoother transitions for the operator as they navigate along the length of the rail. No end loading ensures easier engineering and installation.
Cable Based Lifeline Systems
Liftsafe Fall Protection cable based lifelines come in a variety of options and can easily be installed in numerous workplace environments. Consider our cable based lifeline system to improve your facility’s safety.
