Washington Fall Protection Systems

Protecting the Evergreen State Since 1994

Washington’s economy is built on aerospace, construction, manufacturing, maritime industries, and renewable energy. This has workers frequently operating at heights in industrial plants, high-rise developments, shipyards, power facilities, and logistics hubs. The state’s coastal climate, large-scale infrastructure projects, and expanding clean energy sector include workplace fall hazards, making OSHA and WISHA-compliant fall protection systems essential for workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

With over 30 years of experience, Diversified Fall Protection specializes in custom-engineered fall protection systems designed to meet Washington’s industry-specific challenges. Thanks to the strategic location of DFP fabrication facilities and our ability to mobilize installation crews from the northwest portion of the country, Diversified can deliver cost-effective turnkey fall protection systems to our clients in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, and throughout all of Washington.

Industry-Specific Fall Protection Solutions in Washington

Aerospace & Advanced Manufacturing

Washington’s aerospace and advanced manufacturing sector requires overhead lifelines, modular guardrails, and personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) to protect workers on assembly lines, aircraft maintenance platforms, and production mezzanines.

Construction & Infrastructure Development

Washington’s construction workers rely on temporary lifelines, leading-edge SRLs, and perimeter guardrail systems to ensure safety on high-rise buildings, bridges, and large-scale commercial projects, in compliance with WISHA and OSHA 1926 Subpart M.

Maritime & Shipbuilding

As home to Seattle’s commercial ports, naval bases, and shipyards, Washington’s maritime industry requires rolling access platforms, overhead fall protection systems, and lifeline solutions to keep workers safe during ship construction, vessel maintenance, and cargo handling, meeting OSHA 1915 and U.S. Coast Guard regulations.

Renewable Energy & Utilities

Washington’s hydroelectric, wind, and solar energy industries require vertical climbing systems, confined space entry solutions, and horizontal lifelines for workers maintaining dams, wind turbines, and electrical substations, ensuring compliance with OSHA 1910.269.

Logistics & Warehousing

As a key logistics hub for global trade and e-commerce distribution, Washington’s rail hubs, trucking terminals, and warehouse facilities require rolling access platforms, overhead lifeline systems, and dock-mounted safety barriers to protect workers handling loading, unloading, and freight transport.

Understanding Washington’s OSHA & Safety Regulations (WISHA Compliance)

Washington operates its own state-run OSHA program (WISHA) under the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I). Employers must comply with:

General Industry (WISHA & OSHA 1910) – Fall protection required at elevations of four feet or more.
Construction Industry (WISHA & OSHA 1926 Subpart M) – Fall protection required at elevations of six feet or more.
Maritime & Shipbuilding (OSHA 1915 & U.S. Coast Guard Regulations) – Fall protection required for ship maintenance, dock work, and vessel construction.
Energy & Utilities (WISHA & OSHA 1910.269) – Industry-specific fall protection required for power plants, hydroelectric dams, and wind farms.

WISHA enforces statewide compliance inspections and safety programs to ensure businesses exceed national safety standards.
