Design Considerations

Developing a keen appreciation for both the work process and environmental factors is critical when designing a fall arrest or fall protection system for aerospace applications. Cumbersome fall arrest systems that interfere with an employee’s ability to complete tasks or impede mobility will see infrequent use. Special consideration must also be given to construct horizontal lifelines, single point anchors, and rigid beam fall arrest systems with materials appropriate for the temperature ranges and atmospheric pressure changes present within test chambers. The presence of overhead cranes, equipment, and tow trucks commonly used in aerospace facilities requires careful analysis of height and traffic restraints as well.

Although understanding your production processes and testing protocols is vital, effective fall arrest system design is only possible when partnering with a team of experts that share a deep appreciation of your facility’s unique access points and fall hazards. Our successful track record of designing and installing OSHA compliant, turnkey fall protection systems for the aerospace industry will keep both your facility and employees safe.
