Fall Protection Solutions for Aviation Industry

Once upon a time, there were few amenities at most airports: restrooms, a cafeteria, a gift shop, and a bar. Passengers did not spend as much time in terminals as they do today. But with heightened security, flight delays, and lengthy gaps between connections, airports are now a megamall of distractions: family, fast food, and high-end restaurants; shopping for everything from toys to expensive jewelry; and more bars.

Safety measures for airport maintenance and repair workers were also less comprehensive years ago. With expanded terminals, more jumbo jets, and increased awareness, however, there are many new and innovative fall protection systems available to protect aviation workers and meet contemporary standards.

Bottom-to-top aircraft servicing

Regular aircraft maintenance and repair operations are critical to safety in the aviation industry, from washing windows to inspecting engines. Whether servicing a helicopter or large plane, accessing all sections of large jet planes can present challenges to this important work.

Mobile aircraft maintenance platforms provide a ready solution. Built of sturdy stairs and flooring with safety railings—and set on heavy-duty casters—these work platforms give workers easy access to the aircraft while providing compliant fall protection.

The top of an aircraft can be challenging for personnel to access and perform tasks safely. An overhead rigid rail system is highly recommended, especially one easily installed in aircraft hangars. It tethers workers to a stable anchorage while enabling freedom of movement. In the event of a slip, the system stops a worker with only a short fall and eliminates the pendulum effect that can cause further damage or injury.
