Fall Protection
Falls from height remain the single largest cause of workplace fatalities in both the UK and US. Eqweep supplies full body harnesses, shock-absorbing lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, and fall protection accessories for construction, roofing, energy, utilities, and telecommunications teams. All products meet ANSI Z359 and EN 361 standards.

Fall Protection System Requirements
A compliant fall protection system requires all three components working together:
-
Anchorage — a fixed anchor point rated to 5,000 lbs per worker or designed by a qualified engineer
-
Body support — a full body harness (not a body belt) meeting ANSI Z359.11 or EN 361
-
Connecting device — a shock-absorbing lanyard (ANSI Z359.13) or self-retracting lifeline (ANSI Z359.14)
Legal Requirements
Under UK Work at Height Regulations 2005 and US OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502, fall protection is required at:
-
UK — any height where a fall could cause injury (risk-assessed approach)
-
US Construction — 6 feet above a lower level
-
US General Industry — 4 feet above a lower level
Inspection Requirements
Harnesses and lanyards must be inspected before every use by the wearer and formally inspected annually by a competent person. Replace immediately after any fall arrest event — the energy-absorbing elements are single-use and cannot be reset.

Fall protection equipment available for site fit-outs and fleet orders. Trade accounts with volume pricing for construction companies, roofing contractors and energy teams.
