TRUST. ENGINEERED.
Who We Are
Fall Labs is a purpose-built company focused entirely on fall protection.
We exist for the ones who go up. The ironworkers, the tower climbers, the linemen, the electricians, and the maintenance crews.
We don’t make general safety gear. We make fall protection. That’s it. That’s all we do.
Houston, Texas.

Five thousand pounds per worker is the anchorage strength most fall protection plans are built on. Here is what the rule says, when an engineered alternative applies, when 5,000 pounds is not enough, and why an anchorage has to be inspected to keep the strength it started with.
Federal trigger heights start at 4 feet in general industry and 6 feet in construction, with different figures for scaffolds, steel erection, and fixed ladders. Each one marks where protection becomes mandatory, not where a fall becomes dangerous.
Being tied off does not say which of three systems you are in. Travel restraint keeps you from reaching the edge, fall arrest stops a fall after it starts, and work positioning holds you in place to work, and each one has its own rules.
