FALL PROTECTION IS ALL WE DO.

Call us single-minded, but fall protection is our one and only passion. For us, making the workplace safer is everything – because what we do today saves lives tomorrow.

In this business, the stakes are high – and so are our standards. For example, we have an effective ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, and maintain our own ISO 17025:2017 accredited Test Lab. These measures ensure that FallTech products meet or exceed ANSI standards, OSHA regulations, and CSA standards. Our policy of total transparency means that we openly make our Declarations of Conformity and Test Reports available to all for inspection and comparison.

We design from the outside in, placing you at the center of everything. This helps elevate reliability, performance and value, along with new levels of service, training and support. We run FallTech as if people’s lives depended on it – because they do.
