The 7 Best Fall Protection Systems and Prevention Solutions

Professionals are dedicated to their tasks and in almost every industry, there are areas where workers are subjected to fall hazards. This can include tasks such as work performed on fragile roofs, deterioration of roof materials, unprotected edges, climbing top of trucks/tankers, unstable/poorly maintained access equipment such as ladders, weather, and falling materials.

These are treacherous tasks that are inevitably required for our day-to-day living. Hence, a protection system in place for any form of labour work is a must.

Mtandt is an industrial leader in providing safety solutions and brings to you TsaF – Tactical Safety for Access & Falls. TsaF is the leading manufacturer of Fall Protection Systems in India providing Horizontal, Vertical, and Overhead Lifeline Systems. We also provide Web Deck & Netting System, Aluminium Walkway System, Barricade System, and Flowlok Ladder System. 

These designs are accessible protection equipment solutions that are custom made to meet the site requirements of the workforce that adhere to National and International Safety Regulations. This builds trust, which results in increased efficiency and productivity. Each system that we create, is engineered and customised as per the site’s unique requirement. 

1. Vertical Lifeline System:

Vertical Lifeline System is a fall arrest system that comprises a cable, rail, or rope and a sliding fall arrester device or traveller, that provides protection for vertical work. This lifeline system is designed to enhance ladder safety, climbing mobility, and productivity to workers. We also provide portable ladders that enable mobility up and down the entire height of the line.

 

Applications for Vertical Lifeline System are Refinery/Chimneys, Boiler and Cooling Tower, Power Transmission Towers, Communication Towers, and Oil Rigs and platforms 

2. Horizontal Lifeline System:

Horizontal Lifeline System or a Horizontal Fall Protection System is a fall restraint and a personal fall arrest system component that consists of an automatic pass-through that eliminates the need for workers to unclip themselves and enables them to move past intermediate anchor points, thus keeping both hands free. These systems are lighter than fabricated steel solutions and are comparatively durable, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant in nature. 

Applications for the Horizontal Lifeline Systems are Roof Top-Flat/Sloped, Aircraft Hangar, Constructions, and Stadium/Arena. 

3. Overhead Lifeline System:

An Overhead Fall Protection System is a popular variant of a Fall Arrest System that offers safety for areas where overhead protection is necessary. This personal fall protection equipment allows workers to safely span long distances without needing to stop and reattach to a new anchor point. This system is corrosion-resistant and also customizable and durable for easy use. 

Applications for Overhead Lifeline Systems are Working Of Machinery, Railways Loading & Unloading, Trucks/Tanks Loading & Unloading Bays and Crane Rails. 

4. Barricade System:

A Barricade System is literally a barricade between the worker and the fall hazard. Roof guardrails and skylight mesh are commonly used in commercial, domestic as well as industrial, and construction settings where workers can freely move within the perimeter. We provide the options of free-standing and fixed guardrails according to your site needs. The best part of the aluminium barricade system is that it requires very little maintenance over the years.

Applications for Barricade Systems are Roof Hatches, Skylight Guarding, Roof Perimeters, and Warehouse Traffic Lanes. 

5. Flowlok Ladder System:

Flowlok Ladder Systems provides access to the roof, where there are no stable ladders or climbing structures available. It can be attached to various buildings with the use of different fasteners. In the event of a fall, the trolley immediately locks over the rail, thereby preventing the fall. Made of high-grade galvanized steel,  the thickness is 70 microns min and the systems also have Ribbed rungs that prevent slippage welded at 279mm c/c.

Applications for Flowlok Ladder System are Power Transmission Towers, Communication Towers, Oil Rigs & Platforms, Water Towers, and Storage Bins & Silos. 

6. Aluminium Walkway System:

Aluminium Walkway System provides permanent and safe access across fragile/slippery roofs that have the potential of withstanding multiple users’ weight. Primarily, this system is a dedicated pathway for the repair and maintenance of roofs installed by trained professionals. Heavy-load bearing and durable in nature, this system also provides the feature of a non-slip walkway with grated thread traction. 

Applications for Aluminium Walkway Systems are access and maintenance on all types of roof, repair/maintenance of solar panels/equipment, and residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

7. WEB Deck and Netting systems:

WEB Deck and Netting systems provide under-deck access for maintenance to refurbishment teams for carrying out tasks with maximum safety and utmost productivity. This system is lightweight with a strong design that allows rapid installation and dismantling. Applications for Web Deck and Netting systems are deployments underside of bridges, jetties, pipe racks, conveyor systems, and associated infrastructure.
