Quick Facts: OSHA Fall Protection Standards

  • OSHA 1910.28 — establishes the employer's duty to provide fall protection wherever a fall hazard exists, including unprotected sides, edges, and low-slope roofs.
  • OSHA 1910.29 — sets the technical criteria fall protection systems must meet, from guardrail height and strength to personal fall arrest system requirements.
  • OSHA 1910.30 — requires employers to train workers on recognizing fall hazards and correctly using fall protection equipment.
  • OSHA 1910.140 — governs the personal fall protection equipment itself (harnesses, lanyards, anchorage connectors) used in your system.
  • 4 feet — the walking-working surface height at which OSHA requires fall protection in general industry settings.
  • Annual reassessment — best practice for keeping your fall protection system compliant as roof conditions, equipment, and usage change over time.

Our Fall Protection Services


Every fall protection assessment identifies what your building needs next — whether that's new anchor points, proof your current system can hold load, or a closer look at davit-based access equipment. Here's how we help you close the gap.

Anchor Design & Installation

When an assessment finds missing or inadequate anchor points, we design and install systems built for your building's specific access needs — engineered to meet OSHA and ANSI standards from the ground up, not retrofitted after the fact.


  • Custom-engineered — every anchor system is designed for your roof, not a generic template
  • Code-compliant by design — built to current standards, not adjusted to meet them later
  • Installed by the team that assessed you — no handoff, no gaps in accountability

Load Testing & Verification

An anchor can look sound and still fail under load. We test your existing anchors to confirm they can actually withstand the forces they're rated for — catching hidden weaknesses your assessment flagged before they become a real-world failure.


  • Real-world simulation — testing replicates actual fall-arrest conditions, not just a visual check
  • Third-party verification — independent confirmation your system performs as documented
  • Clear pass/fail reporting — no ambiguity about what needs attention

Davit System Inspection, Testing & Certification

Davit-based access systems — common for window cleaning and facade maintenance — have their own inspection and certification requirements. If your assessment identifies davit equipment, we evaluate it against the same rigorous standard as your other fall protection systems.


  • Specialized expertise — davit systems inspected by technicians who know this equipment specifically
  • Full certification path — inspection, testing, and certification in one engagement
  • Keeps your access crews compliant — critical for any contractor relying on your davits

Common Questions About Fall Protection Assessments


Ensuring your building’s anchor systems and fall protection setup are safe and compliant is essential for protecting workers and meeting regulatory requirements. Below are answers to the most common questions building owners, managers, and contractors ask about inspections, certifications, load testing, system design, and overall fall protection safety.

  • What is a fall protection assessment?

    Ensuring the safety of workers at height is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a responsibility that protects lives. Proper fall protection systems, including certified roof anchorages, are essential for safeguarding contractors working on your building, such as window cleaners and maintenance crews.

  • Is a fall hazard assessment required by OSHA?

    OSHA's latest fall protection standards require that building owners ensure their properties meet specific safety requirements. This includes having tested and certified roof anchorages capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per worker in any direction.

  • How long does a fall protection assessment take?

    Building owners must inform suspended maintenance contractors in writing that each anchorage point has been tested and certified to support the required load. This certification must be conducted by a qualified person. Additionally, building owners must ensure safe working conditions, including maintaining safe distances from building edges and providing fall protection at heights of 4 feet or more.

  • What's the difference between a fall protection assessment and an anchor inspection?

    Failure to comply with OSHA regulations can result in unlimited liability exposure for building owners. Ensuring that all roof anchorages are properly certified and that contractors are adequately trained in fall protection measures significantly reduces this risk.

  • What happens after the assessment is complete?

    It should be conducted by a qualified provider with fall protection and OSHA compliance expertise — not a general contractor or in-house maintenance staff without specific certification in anchor systems and fall hazard evaluation.

  • How often should a fall protection assessment be conducted?

    Annually at minimum, or any time your building undergoes roof work, a change in use, or new equipment is installed that affects rooftop access.
