Safety Rail Source®, in conjunction with FallProtec® provides engineered fall protection for fall hazards that cannot be protected by conventional safety systems. If the roof has a pitch greater than 1 in 12 (5 degrees) or requires a 5,000 lbs. fall rating, custom solutions may be required. Additionally, if aesthetics are important, these solutions maintain a low profile which preserves roof line architecture. All fall protection is designed to exceed IBC, ANSI and OSHA standards with a safety factor of 2. Safety Rail Source (est. 1999) has invented several fall protection products & solutions and FallProtec has developed engineering systems since 2004 in 65 countries.

There are three basic types of Engineered Fall Protections System: (1) Horizontal and inclined fall protection cables and rigid rail systems, (2) Vertical fall arrest systems typically used for fixed ladders, and (3) Façade Access and Suspended Access Systems.
Horizontal and Inclined Fall Arrest Systems:
Horizontal lifeline systems are either cable based or ridged rail systems. Cable-based systems allow for safe tie-off for your facility workers without restricting their mobility. Cable systems easily accommodate the existing layout of your facility to allow workers to access areas where maintenance is required.
Rigid rail systems are ideal when there is minimal fall clearance. Rigid systems come in two forms. A trolley system utilizes existing overhead I-Beams. A rigid rail system features an enclosed track with a self-retracting lifeline for a worker to safely travel the entire span of the track with continuous tie-off. Unlike horizontal lifelines, rigid rail systems have limited deflection, which limits free-fall.
Overhead horizontal lifelines allow workers to safely span long distances without needing to stop and re-attach to a new anchor point. These systems are typically found in rail yards, loading areas, crane rail applications, and airplane hangars.
Vertical Fall Arrest Systems:
Vertical lifeline systems provide fall protection for workers who perform climbing tasks. A vertical lifeline enables mobility up and down the entire height of the line, eliminating the need to disconnect and find a new tie-off point along the way. These systems are usually a cable, or a track to which a worker is attached via a full body harness and lanyard.
Façade Access and Suspended Access Systems:
Safety Rail Source® and Fallprotec® are committed to providing state of the art safe access equipment, compliant with EN1808:2010, the 2006/42/CE machine directive standard and BS8610:2019. Our versatile range serves to facades from 5 to 500m in height. Our products include BMU designs suitable for both architectural buildings and industrial sites. We also design davit arms, manlifts, and suspension rails, integrating functionality with aesthetics, safety, and ergonomics for optimal facility management.
