About Engineered Fall Protection

Engineered Fall Protection brings specialized expertise in fall protection systems and comprehensive workplace safety consulting to the St. Louis area. Since 2003, we've designed and installed fall protection solutions for construction companies, manufacturers, and facility owners across Missouri. Our engineering team understands both OSHA requirements and practical implementation challenges. Our approach combines technical engineering with hands-on safety experience. We don't just sell equipment - we analyze your specific workplace hazards and design systems that protect workers while maintaining operational efficiency. From simple guardrail systems to complex horizontal lifeline installations, we provide complete solutions backed by thorough engineering analysis and ongoing support.

How They Can Help

Our core services include comprehensive fall protection system design, installation, and certification for commercial and industrial applications. We conduct detailed workplace safety assessments that go beyond fall protection to identify all potential hazards. Our team provides OSHA compliance training specifically focused on fall protection standards, including competent person training for construction supervisors. We design custom fall protection systems for unique applications, from rooftop maintenance access to complex industrial equipment. Our engineering services include structural analysis to ensure proper anchor point design and load distribution. We also offer safety program development that integrates fall protection procedures with your overall safety management system. Regular inspection and recertification services keep your systems compliant and workers protected over time.

What to Expect

We start with a detailed site assessment where our engineers evaluate your specific fall hazards and work procedures. This includes measuring existing structures, identifying anchor point locations, and understanding worker access patterns. We then provide engineered drawings and specifications for recommended systems, including load calculations and installation details. Once you approve the design, our certified installers complete the work according to ANSI standards. We provide comprehensive documentation including engineering certifications and employee training on proper system use. Annual inspections ensure ongoing compliance and system integrity. We maintain detailed records for all installations and can provide recertification services as needed.

Service Area

We serve the St. Louis metropolitan area and surrounding counties, with regular projects throughout eastern Missouri and southern Illinois. Our primary service area extends from Columbia to Cape Girardeau and includes the major industrial corridors along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. For specialized engineered systems, we'll travel throughout the Midwest to serve clients with unique fall protection requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an engineered fall protection system or can I use standard equipment?
It depends on your specific application. Standard equipment works for routine situations, but unique structural conditions, high loads, or unusual access requirements typically need engineered solutions. We'll assess your needs during the initial evaluation.
How often do fall protection systems need inspection?
OSHA requires regular inspection before each use, with formal annual inspections by qualified persons. We provide annual inspection services and can train your staff on daily inspection procedures.
Can you work with our existing structural steel or building?
Yes, we regularly design fall protection systems for existing structures. Our engineers will evaluate the structural capacity and design anchor points that work within the building's limitations.
What's the difference between temporary and permanent fall protection?
Temporary systems are designed for short-term use during construction or maintenance. Permanent systems are engineered for ongoing use and require more robust anchor points and regular inspection protocols.
Do you provide rescue planning for fall protection systems?
Yes, rescue planning is a critical part of any fall protection program. We help develop rescue procedures and can recommend equipment and training for your rescue team.
How long does system installation typically take?
Installation time varies from a few days for simple systems to several weeks for complex horizontal lifelines. We'll provide accurate timelines during the design phase and work to minimize disruption to your operations.
Are your installers certified?
All our installers are trained and certified in fall protection system installation. Our crew leaders hold additional certifications in rigging and structural work as needed for complex installations.
Can you help us train employees on the new systems?
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive training on proper system use, inspection procedures, and emergency response. Training is customized to your specific equipment and workplace conditions.
