For Energy Industry Fall Protection, We Have You Covered

Energy industry fall protection on oil drilling rigs, offshore oil and gas platforms and chemical refineries, nuclear power plants, silos, and wind power turbines is at the core of FallProof’s strength. Our fall safety experts provide full-turnkey custom design, installation and training for the most effective solutions to ensure your employees make it home safe each and every day. If you are looking to install the right fall protection solution for the elevated areas of your industrial energy site, call for a free on-site assessment. Below are a few clients we have served:

Fall Protection Done Right Is The Only Option

As a fall protection specialty subcontractor for the energy industry, the following are typical solutions we provide to protect employees in elevated areas of their workplace, and doing things right is the only option to prevent accidents and injuries:

Lifeline Solutions

• Horizontal Lifelines – Installed along catwalks, elevated work platforms and gantries. We also are able to install lifelines on the runways for gantry cranes, allowing workers to safely enter and exit the crane cab.

• Permanent Fixed-Track Lifelines – Installed indoors on an oil or gas refinery ceiling, or outdoors in a variety of settings (including on the outer perimeters of the rigs). We also install them above loading and service areas to assist workers in loading or servicing tanker trucks or railcars. Fixed-track lifelines allow workers to safely climb on top of a tanker truck or rail car to load, unload or service the vehicle. For tank farms, we provide both ladder climbing systems and either single-point anchors or lifelines to allow the worker to safely traverse from the ladder to the entry portal, where our confined space solutions allow safe entry into the tank for required cleaning and maintenance.

• Portable Fixed-Track Lifelines – Mounted on a steel frame on wheels, they are easily movable around a loading or service area and placed over different trucks or rail cars, allowing workers to climb on top of each vehicle to safely load or service it.

• Vertical Lifelines – At nuclear power plants, we have installed guardrails around the top of cooling towers, and vertical lifelines for the ladders needed to access that level. On oil drilling towers and offshore oil platforms, as well as in oil and gas refineries and power plants, FallProof has installed vertical lifelines to allow workers to safely climb vertical fixed ladders.

Specialty Solutions – We are able to install permanent or deadweight single-point anchors on oil and gas rigs, and on elevated work platforms and catwalks where a horizontal cable or fixed-track lifeline might be difficult to install. A single-point anchor provides a tie-off point, allowing the worker to safely operate on the elevated surface. We also install guardrails on elevated work platforms and catwalks to prevent workers from falling from an elevated work area, and have mounted davit arms in strategic locations to assist in rescue and descent.

Inspections and Lifeline Modifications – FallProof’s experts offer inspection and modification of existing lifeline systems in oil, gas and nuclear facilities for OSHA and ANSI compliance and certification.

Below are a few energy industry-related applications we have installed.

The energy industry has many fall safety needs. Whether temporary or permanent, swing and jib arms, rooftop lifelines, etc., we can provide design, engineering and installation services for all of your needs.

Employees at energy facilities frequently need to access rooftops for routine inspection and equipment repair. FallProof has installed many rooftop horizontal lifelines for customers in the energy field. Pictured here is a rooftop installation of cable lifeline for a leading provider of sustainable waste and energy solutions.

Swing and Jib arms are used when employees who are working in a semi-circular area and need to move from end to end within that plane. Often used for fall arrest safety above chemical vats and similar apparatus, swing arms can be found in many energy facilities. Pictured here, FallProof installed a swing arm for a major energy company at their northeast research facility.

Many equipment manufacturers make harnesses and equipment specifically geared toward the oil, gas and energy industries. Pictured here is Honeywell/Miller’s Air Core Oil and Gas harness. FallProof can recommend and supply all of the necessary fall protection equipment needed for your workers in the energy industry.

Davit arms are used within many industries and applications in the fall protection space. Mainly used for rescue and retrieval, FallProof installed a number of davit arms for a large, regional energy producer atop a cooling tower at a nuclear power plant. Used in conjunction with a horizontal lifeline, they are in place to rescue a person should they fall off the edge, activating the cable lifeline.

Horizontal lifelines are commonplace in the energy industry. Pictured here is the beginning of an installation for which FallProof was contracted to install a fall protection horizontal lifeline system on top of a cooling tower of a nuclear power plant.
