Sturdy Protection Systems for greater Safety in Hazardous Operations

The last thing that any business needs is a serious accident in the workplace, which is why it is important to invest in sturdy fall protection or fall arrest systems in any construction or other operations involving high altitudes. We specialize in designing complete safety systems, including anchors and guardrail set-ups, and can help you to ensure that your workers have a safe working environment, which meets major safety standards.

As a business specializing in industrial safety systems, CAI can design a custom solution around your particular application, whether you need a system to provide airplane technicians with fall protection or you need a portable guardrail system for creating a barrier between a high ledge (such as the edge of a roof) and the drop beyond. We observe the way your business operates, and design fall arrest systems so that we can impede your maintenance or construction progress as little as possible.

We develop sturdy fixed and portable gangways for applications such as repairs to trucks and sea containers. A gangway or access platform which has sturdy stairs attached makes it easy not only for workers to access areas that are not comfortably within arm’s reach, but also make it easy for workers to transport tools to and from the area requiring repair or maintenance.

In areas where people need to be able to pass through a guardrail system, where the security of the system must not be compromised, industrial safety gates can be installed. We offer a variety of OSHA compliant gate systems, including gates which open upwards so as to minimize the space taken up when the gate is open. These can be finished in bright colors such as a dazzling powder yellow, which will keep workers mindful of the portion of a guardrail which is movable.

In addition to providing OSHA compliant fall protection and fall arrest systems, as well as gangway platforms and anchors that provide strong security, we provide on-site training in the correct use of our systems. Not only can we supply you with reliable equipment, we can also provide the necessary installation and certification services to ensure that your equipment has been set up correctly and provides your business with greater liability protection.

CAI is experienced in providing training in all kinds of protection systems, from safe gangway use and the use of industrial safety gates to the correct use of anchors. When you enlist us to provide training for your labor force, we can thus provide a thorough introduction to fall protection and safety which will help to minimize accidents in the workplace. Your training package will be customized to suit your business, so that nothing unnecessary need be included.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is a regulatory body which monitors safety standards, and our OSHA compliant equipment can provide you with a seal of distinction that is good for business. We strive to provide custom engineering solutions that will keep our clients on the right side of regulations, by providing workers with enhanced safety in risky working environments.

Keeping Workers Safe on the Job with Fall Protection

Work-related injuries and fatalities caused by falls are a major concern among many industry leaders and government organizations. In fact, falls are considered to be one of the leading causes of work-related deaths. In order to ensure the safety of workers, fall protection must be provided. CAI Safety Systems, a turnkey provider of fall protection systems offers OSHA & ANSI compliant horizontal lifeline, guardrail, anchor, gate, access platforms & gangway customized for a variety of safety needs. There are many types of fall protection systems for just about every application. To learn more about just a few of these applications and how CAI can address a number of fall protection projects; read on.

Maintenance, inspection, and service workers in the aviation industry face a number of challenges that require fall protection systems. Working in a hangar for instance, is hazardous as workers must share limited space. Our engineering and design team can develop a customized fall protection system using the existing hangar structure in order to support both safety and productivity. This type of system suspends workers from the overhead building structure. There are two kinds of horizontal lifelines that can be used to meet fall arrest needs. CAI will be able to provide you with information on both and assess the right solution for your particular structure.

Construction site workers are often at risk for falls on the job. In fact, in order to meet OSHA regulations, employers must provide fall protection when workers are "exposed to vertical drops of 6 feet or more". One option available in order to be OSHA compliant is through the use of guardrail systems which must entirely surround the dangerous area. CAI carries non-penetrating Rhino Guardrail Systems which are easy to install, mobile, and flexible. However, if the Rhino Guardrail System does not meet your guardrail needs, we can provide custom engineering and fabrication. Guardrail systems can be utilized for a variety of purposes beyond the construction industry. Nationwide, our Rhino guardrails are used by warehouses, manufacturing companies, commercial facilities and public safety situations.

An access gangway provides safe access and fall protection while workers move from a loading rack, platform or dock to an elevated surface. Access Gangways were specifically designed for truck or railcar workers, who must often access the top of a vehicle. CAI access gangways are user-friendly, easy to install and OSHA and ANSI compliant. We can customize your gangway's finish and construction and offer a wide selection of access gangways including folding, extension, and self-leveling stairs. Our gangways provide the highest level of fall protection and safety with features like non-skid grip strut walking surfaces and optional features like a safety cage.

Because CAI fall protection systems are field tested, we understand the importance of designing systems that provide ease of installation, handling and use without compromising safety. CAI Industrial Safety Gates are no exception. Mezzanines, loading docks, ladder openings, roof hatches, shipping pits, and restricted areas are all great examples of applications for fall protection. Mezzanines in particular have a serious fall hazards. With the Dual Safety Gate System, one gate will remain closed to ensure fall protection while receiving a product.

Some industries may require their workers to perform duties on top of a railcar, tank, rooftop, aircraft or another large vehicle or structure. With a CAI Safety Mobile Fall Protection Anchor System, workers will have a fall arrest anchor point and horizontal lifeline system that is self contained, portable and non-penetrating. This easy to install vacuum anchor attaches to smooth, non-porous surfaces and can be used as an anchor point for one or two people. And because the Mobile Fall Protection Anchor can operate on a compressed air bottle, there's no need for external power sources which can create hazards for workers.

The first step in any fall protection program is identifying common fall hazards and determining how to control or even eliminate those hazards. CAI offers customized fall protection training on your worksite. We can create a training program that focuses on your site's specific risks while maintaining OSHA and ANSI fall protection requirements. Training courses offered by CAI Safety Systems include Authorized Person, Competent Person and Train the Trainer.
