Pulp and Paper
Due to their harsh environments, pulp and paper mills require constant maintenance. Although preventative service is vital to keeping your mill operational, it also exposes maintenance personnel to a variety of safety and fall hazards. Ensuring worker safety and OSHA compliance requires the implementation of a comprehensive fall prevention strategy, which includes the proper mix of fall protection equipment, personnel training, and partnering with a fall protection company that appreciates the unique nature of your mill’s access points and potential fall hazards.
Creating an effective fall protection system for your pulp and paper mill begins with a site visit to better understand the work environment. By understanding the nature and frequency of tasks performed, fall clearance distances, and the strength of adjacent structural beams and columns, we can engineer a turnkey fall protection solution that maximizes productivity while keeping your employees safe and your mill in compliance with all OSHA regulations.

Design Considerations
Providing unimpeded overhead crane access for maintenance requires dedicated fold-away or rigid beam fall protection systems for each machine in the mill. Pulp and paper mill fall protection systems must also be constructed from corrosion resistant 316 stainless or equivalent due to the wet and humid work environment. Although these conditions present challenges, our turnkey approach to OSHA compliant fall protection can keep your plant operational and your maintenance personnel safe.
