New Mexico Fall Protection Systems

Comprehensive Fall Protection for New Mexico Industries

Energy & Utilities

New Mexico is a national leader in oil, natural gas, and renewable energy, with a growing number of solar farms, wind energy projects, and power transmission facilities. Workers perform high-risk maintenance tasks on elevated structures like wind turbines, solar arrays, and oil derricks, requiring specialized fall protection solutions. Engineered lifeline systems, vertical climbing systems, and mobile fall arrest solutions ensure compliance with OSHA 1910.269 and keep workers safe at elevation.

Aerospace & Defense

With major defense contractors and research institutions, New Mexico plays a significant role in military testing, missile development, and aerospace engineering. High-tech manufacturing, spacecraft assembly, and maintenance require strict adherence to fall protection protocols in cleanroom environments, aircraft hangars, and launch facilities. Overhead track systems, modular guardrails, and access platforms provide critical fall safety solutions for aerospace and defense operations.

Manufacturing & Industrial Processing

New Mexico’s high-tech, semiconductor, and food processing industries require workers to operate near elevated conveyor systems, industrial equipment, and production mezzanines. Ensuring worker safety in these environments means personal fall arrest systems, modular guardrails, and overhead lifeline systems must be implemented to prevent falls while maintaining productivity.

Construction & Infrastructure Development

New Mexico’s construction sector includes commercial, residential, and government infrastructure projects, with many job sites located in high-altitude or remote locations. Workers on scaffolding, steel structures, and roofing projects require temporary and permanent safety systems to meet OSHA 1926 Subpart M regulations. Our solutions include leading-edge self-retracting devices (previously self-retracting lifelines), perimeter guardrails, and engineered anchor systems to keep construction crews safe.

Logistics & Transportation

New Mexico is a critical logistics hub, connecting rail, highway, and air freight across the Southwest. Workers in rail yards, trucking terminals, and warehouse distribution centers frequently operate near elevated storage systems, loading docks, and transportation maintenance areas, making fall protection essential. Rigid rail systems, rolling access platforms, and truck maintenance fall arrest solutions help mitigate fall hazards for logistics and transportation workers.

Understanding New Mexico’s OSHA & Safety Regulations (NM OSHA Compliance)

New Mexico operates its own state-run OSHA program (NM OSHA) under the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (OHSB). NM OSHA enforces fall protection requirements that align with federal OSHA standards but also conducts targeted enforcement programs focusing on construction, energy, and manufacturing safety.

• General Industry (OSHA 1910 & NM OSHA Standards) – Fall protection is required at elevations of four feet or more.
• Construction Industry (OSHA 1926 & NM OSHA Standards) – Fall protection is required at elevations of six feet or more.
• Energy & Utilities (OSHA 1910.269) – Specialized fall protection is required for power generation, oil and gas extraction, and renewable energy maintenance.

New Mexico OSHA also provides consultation programs to help businesses maintain compliance, ensuring that employers meet or exceed national fall protection standards.
