OSHA Fall Protection Regulations

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all companies and organizations to achieve high standards, ensuring that employees are sufficiently educated, healthy, and protected across all work industries. For fire brigades, OSHA requires all firefighters working at heights of 4 feet or higher to be adequately equipped.

Fall protection systems keep firefighters safer during work hours. Having fall protection systems in place keeps your fire brigade in line with OSHA’s standards and ensures your team has the protection they need during labor-intensive situations.

Fall Protection Systems From Rigid Lifelines®

Following OSHA’s protocols is critical to the safety and health of your team. That’s why you can trust Rigid Lifelines® fall protection and fall arrest systems for firefighter fall protection. All of our products follow OSHA standards. Below, you can read about three of our most popular systems.

Ceiling-Mounted Monorail

Our Ceiling-Mounted Monorail systems are a great add-on in fire houses. Affix to the ceiling of the garage, gear up, and hook yourself to the monorail when a firetruck needs maintenance or additional equipment needs loading or unloading.

The monorail comes with an enclosed track, which limits the buildup of dirt, and workers can move 30 degrees from the center to complete work thoroughly.

Traveling Bridge

Suitable for fire brigades with larger facilities, Traveling Bridge systems provide a rectangular coverage area. This allows for multiple firetrucks in a building to be worked on without a worker having to disconnect from the system or the shuffling of vehicles.

Either mounted to the ceiling or freestanding, we have designed the traveling bridge so that the trolley can follow the worker without restricting their movement. The traveling bridge does have an enclosed track and is compatible with cranes.

Adjustable Rolling A-Frame

A highly mobile system with adjustable height and width, the Rolling A-Frame is convenient for tight spaces and emergency firetruck maintenance. It’s compatible when it isn’t needed and can be fully adjustable for the different jobs you perform. You can also move it throughout your workspace so that it’s where you need it to get the job done safely.
