3 Essential Fall Protection Products for Your Workplace
Through appropriate safety protocols, your team can create a safer and more productive workplace for every employee. This holds true in all safety situations, but is especially relevant to fall protection. Falls are consistently at the top of the list for most common causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths. That’s why industrial workplaces across the country invest in fall protection solutions to prevent these accidents from occurring in the first place.
How can your organization reduce its frequency of fall-related accidents and injuries? The first step is to develop and implement a robust fall protection program. This strategic asset connects employees with detailed training on how to react when accidents are about to occur—as well as what risks to look for and how to prevent them. This safety plan plays a major role in mitigating the prevalence and impact of falls across your workplace.
A detailed fall protection plan isn’t enough to protect your employees, you’ll also need to invest in the right fall protection products to support the plan. These solutions could include fall arrest harnesses, guard rails, and safety net systems. But the question still stands: how do you know which products will provide the most benefit to your team? To help you find the right solutions for your unique needs, here’s an overview of the powerful fall protection equipment we offer at Stronghold Safety Engineering.
Garlock Fall Protection Equipment from Stronghold
We offer several fall protection products from Garlock that are OSHA compliant and work toward protecting your employees from falls. Having these safety features in place will help create a safer, more comfortable, and efficient work environment for your team. Our Garlock fall safety solutions include the following:
Garlock RailGuard 200 System
RailGuard Safety Guardrail systems will protect employees—as well as contractor/serviceman who may not be as familiar with your safety requirements. With a passive guardrail system installed, you can rest assured that your staff are well guarded from potential fall accidents. With a simple, non-penetrating design, this guarding system requires no drilling or tools to install—and its weighted base helps to maintain rooftop integrity.
The RailGuard 200 System isn’t only made for rooftops. It can also be used for loading docks/pits, mezzanines, or machine guarding. With several permanent base mounting styles available, this system is also customizable. It comes in three standard sizes and your choice of finish. You can even add a swing or self-closing gate to perfect your safety setup.
Garlock LifePoint Duo STOP System Steel Weights
The LifePoint Duo is a mobile tie-off device that provides fall protection for two people: fall arrest for one and fall restraint for one—or fall restraint for two. For two-person fall protection and circumstances requiring non-penetrating versatility, the LifePoint Duo is your perfect solution. This system offers easy set up and quick-move abilities to maximize flexibility, too.
The LifePoint Duo is non-penetrating and works to preserve rooftop water integrity. With a robust design that’s easy to reposition, the ratcheted handle enables the weighted body of the unit to be lifted seamlessly and safely. With the handle folded back, the body rests securely on the roof deck to provide the fall resistance needed to protect two people.
Garlock ScreenGuard Skylight Protector
Having an unprotected skylight can be a major hazard that’s too dangerous to ignore. The ScreenGuard Skylight Protector provides cost-effective, OSHA-compliant fall protection by securing to the skylight frame with compression-fit, non-penetrating fasteners, adhesive or straps. This skylight protector helps prevent objects or workers from damaging or falling through the skylight. The galvanized screen also resists corrosion—ensuring exceptional durability.
