Fall Protection by Industry
Fall Protection Built Around Your Facility
A grain elevator, a hangar and a distribution center all put people at height in very different ways. We start with how work actually happens at your site, then engineer, install and inspect the fall protection products that fit it. Choose your industry below to see the hazards we solve most often and the systems we use.
Manufacturing and Industrial
Rooftop and mezzanine guardrail, safety gates, crossover stairs, and overhead rigid rail for plants and industrial facilities.

Industry Fall Protection FAQ
Every industry brings its own access patterns, environments and rules. These are the questions facility and safety teams ask most often before a project starts.
Most operating facilities fall under OSHA's general industry rules (29 CFR 1910), which require fall protection on walking-working surfaces 4 feet or more above a lower level. Construction work follows 29 CFR 1926, where the general trigger is 6 feet. Many sites deal with both: day-to-day maintenance is general industry, while a roof replacement or expansion is construction. Mines and many aggregate plants follow MSHA instead. EDGE Fall Protection designs each area to the rule that applies.
Yes, when they are specified for it. EDGE Fall Protection chooses finishes for the conditions each system will live in, including galvanized and powder-coated steel, aluminum and stainless steel options for gates and platforms. That matters in food and beverage plants, water and wastewater treatment, energy and mining sites.
Regularly. EDGE Fall Protection's own installation crews travel to all 50 states and Canada, so one partner can standardize fall protection across every plant, warehouse or campus you manage. Our inspection team then keeps each site on the same schedule of annual inspections and five-year anchorage pull tests.
Almost certainly. The hazards behind most falls are the same few: unprotected edges, roof openings, access points and work beyond a guarded area. If your site does not fit a standard product, our custom fall protection team engineers around it. Request a quote and tell us about your site.
