Vermont Fall Protection Systems

Industry-Specific Fall Protection Solutions in Vermont

Manufacturing & Industrial Processing

Vermont’s aerospace, food production, and advanced manufacturing industries require overhead lifelines, modular guardrails, and personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) to protect workers on elevated production lines, conveyor systems, and assembly platforms.

Construction & Infrastructure Development

With ongoing commercial and residential expansion, Vermont’s construction workforce benefits from temporary lifelines, leading-edge SRLs, and perimeter guardrail systems to ensure fall safety on scaffolding, steel structures, and roofing projects, meeting VOSHA and OSHA 1926 Subpart M standards.

Energy & Utilities

Vermont’s growing renewable energy sector, hydroelectric plants, and power grid infrastructure demand fall protection for workers maintaining wind turbines, substations, and electrical transmission lines. Our vertical climbing systems, horizontal lifelines, and confined space entry solutions keep utility workers safe and OSHA 1910.269-compliant.

Forestry & Logging

As a state with a strong timber industry, Vermont’s forestry workers require fixed ladder systems, engineered guardrails, and fall restraint solutions to safely navigate sawmills, logging operations, and wood processing facilities while complying with VOSHA and OSHA logging safety standards.

Transportation & Warehousing

With Vermont’s reliance on freight distribution, trucking, and rail transport, workers need rolling access platforms, overhead fall protection systems, and dock-mounted safety barriers to prevent falls in loading docks, rail yards, and distribution centers.

Understanding Vermont’s OSHA & Safety Regulations (VOSHA Compliance)

Vermont operates its own state-run OSHA program (VOSHA) under the Vermont Department of Labor, enforcing fall protection standards that align with federal OSHA requirements while addressing state-specific safety programs. Employers must comply with:

• General Industry (VOSHA & OSHA 1910) – Fall protection required at elevations of four feet or more.
• Construction Industry (VOSHA & OSHA 1926 Subpart M) – Fall protection required at elevations of six feet or more.
• Energy & Utilities (VOSHA & OSHA 1910.269) – Fall protection required for power plants, wind farms, and electrical grid maintenance.
• Forestry & Logging (VOSHA & OSHA 1910.266) – Industry-specific fall protection required for logging sites, sawmills, and wood processing facilities.

VOSHA also conducts statewide compliance inspections and consultation programs to assist businesses in meeting or exceeding national safety standards.
