Exceptional Fall Arrest Systems MN Can Count On

What is a "Qualified Person?"

When it comes to fall protection design and engineering, OSHA stipulates, “Horizontal lifelines shall be designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a Qualified Person”. Northland Safety Solutions LLC defines a "Qualified Person" as a professional engineer licensed in the state in which we are doing business.

Since 2015, we have provided fall protection systems in Twin Cities, MN and surrounding areas, as well as serving industrial customers in South Dakota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. Fill out our online form today to request any of our fall protection services.

Fall Protection System Design Criteria

To provide a safe working environment, our experienced engineers will design a fall protection system that meets the customer’s requirements, taking into consideration the existing facility’s current environment. This system design will include, but is not limited to:

• OSHA/ANSI/Manufacturer’s regulations and requirements
• Type of fall protection (cable-based, rigid rail, single point anchor, guardrail, etc.)
• Obstructions (electrical/air/water lines, heat ducts, material handling systems, etc.)
• Total fall distance clearance requirements
• User-friendliness
• Production schedules for installation purposes
• Use of overhead bridge cranes, if applicable.

Customized Solutions for Every Facility

No two industrial facilities are exactly alike, which is why Northland Safety Solutions LLC takes a tailored approach to every project.

How We Protect You

There are various forms of fall protection and the overarching term can be especially ambiguous to fall protection clients. We offer comprehensive fall protection solutions including fall prevention, fall restraint, and fall arrest systems MN can trust. Some of our options, such as horizontal lifelines can serve both fall restraint and fall arrest purposes. Allow us to briefly explain the differences between these forms of fall protection.

• Fall Prevention

These solutions aim to passively keep falls from happening to begin with.

• Fall Restraint
  

These solutions aim to restrict an individual from being able to freely access a drop-off or edge.

• Fall Arrest
  

These solutions aim to stop a fall once it has started.

Comprehensive Fall Arrest Planning

Implementing fall arrest systems in MN requires more than just selecting the right equipment. Our team develops detailed plans that account for the specific dynamics of your facility. We calculate the required clearance distances, anchor strengths, and line tension to create a system that will arrest a fall safely without creating additional hazards. By incorporating energy-absorbing lanyards, shock-absorbing anchors, and other safety features, we ensure your team has the highest level of protection possible. Whether you are retrofitting an older facility or designing a new one, our fall arrest systems in MN are engineered for reliability, compliance, and ease of use.

Maintenance and Inspection Services

A critical aspect of fall protection is ongoing maintenance. Our fall arrest systems in MN are designed for durability, but regular inspections and preventive maintenance are essential to ensure they continue to function correctly. Northland Safety Solutions LLC offers scheduled inspection programs and corrective maintenance to identify wear, corrosion, or mechanical issues before they compromise safety. Our qualified engineers provide detailed reports and recommendations for every inspection, allowing facility managers to address potential problems proactively and maintain compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards.
