Steel and Foundry Fall Protection

The failure of foundry and steel mill ladle cranes subjected to intense heat, dust, and dirt can compromise production schedules and profitability. In a worst case scenario, catastrophic failure may result in serious employee injury or death. Economic considerations and safety imperatives require frequent crane inspection and preventative maintenance, tasks that must be performed safely under the umbrella of a fall protection system. 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 steel mill or foundry’s access points and potential fall hazards.
