When it comes to rooftop safety and fall protection, a cookie-cutter approach just doesn’t cut it. Every building is different—each with its own risks, structure, and access challenges. That’s why the foundation of a truly effective safety program lies in three core services: fall hazard assessments, safety compliance audits, and fall protection engineering.
In this post, we’ll explore how these elements work together to ensure your facility is not just compliant—but proactively safe.
Why Start with a Fall Hazard Assessment?
Every successful safety strategy starts with understanding risk. A fall hazard assessment is a systematic review of your facility’s elevated areas, potential hazards, and existing safety systems (if any). It’s the discovery phase that uncovers blind spots before they become OSHA citations—or worse, injuries.
Our Process Includes:
Inspecting all roof access points
Identifying unguarded edges, skylights, and hatches
Reviewing ladder safety and anchorage systems
Mapping out work zones and maintenance routes
Documenting every hazard with photos and notes
The output? A full hazard report and custom quote outlining what’s needed to bring your facility up to standard.

Turning Data into Action with Compliance Audits
Even the most advanced system won’t deliver results if it’s not being properly maintained and evaluated. That’s where safety compliance audits come in. Think of them as the health check for your fall protection program—verifying that all systems are OSHA-compliant, certified, and functioning properly.
Our Safety Audits Evaluate:
OSHA 1910 and ANSI Z359 compliance
Structural integrity of installed systems
Employee access protocols and safe-use procedures
Certification status of anchor points and lifelines
Training documentation and signage

Where Engineering Excellence Comes In
Fall protection engineering is where theory meets implementation. It’s the discipline of designing custom safety systems tailored to your specific rooftop or work-at-height application. At US Fall Protection, our engineers are certified experts in rooftop dynamics, load-bearing capacity, and OSHA/ANSI regulation.
Our Engineering Capabilities Include:
Structural analysis and CAD design
Custom-fabricated systems for unique environments
Load testing and documentation
Permitting and regulatory documentation support
Whether it’s designing a lifeline system for a narrow catwalk or a guardrail system for a curved parapet, our solutions are built to withstand real-world conditions and meet code.
Who Needs Fall Protection Engineering?
Every industry has its own challenges. That’s why we serve a diverse range of sectors, from industrial to institutional. If your workers access rooftops, elevated walkways, or perform maintenance at height, fall protection engineering should be part of your safety planning.

Real-World Case Study: Custom Lifeline Retrofit
A regional warehouse facility had a legacy lifeline system installed in the early 2000s. Our audit revealed structural issues in the anchor points and noncompliance with current OSHA standards. After a fall hazard assessment, our engineering team redesigned the lifeline system, upgraded the anchorage, and provided re-certification—all with minimal disruption to daily operations.
