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.
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.
Davit System Inspections
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.
Guardrail Systems
A permanent, passive barrier along roof edges, skylights, and unprotected sides — protection that's always active, with nothing for workers to clip into or forget to use.
Horizontal Lifeline Systems
A continuous anchor line that travels with workers across a roof or platform, so crews get full mobility for the job without ever stepping outside fall protection.
Fixed Ladder Vertical
Cable or rail-based systems built into fixed ladders and permanent access points, keeping workers protected on every climb up towers, hatches, and vertical runs.
