Many manufacturing companies use fall
protection systems that pass OSHA standards to protect their workers on the
job. However, despite developments in the fall protection industry that have
created new systems that meet and exceed OSHA standards, many companies
continue to use wire ropes that can seem outdated. This article examines a
variety of leading fall protection systems and their pros and cons.
When an individual is considering
making an investment for their company in a fall protection system, there are
many reasons why they consider wire rope systems. For one, they are OSHA
approved. In addition, wire rope systems (WRS) have been in place for years and
are typically effective at providing adequate protection for workers.
However, WRS can not prevent a worker
from falling at least several feet. On a wire rope system that is 40 feet in
length, workers can fall as far as 8 feet before coming to a stop. For workers
on a tanker truck or rail car, the chance of injury to the head or body during
a fall of 8 feet with metal outcroppings, ladders, or even the ground is very high.
In addition to increased risk of
safety, many companies have the misconception that wire rope systems are less
expensive than other options. Because wire rope systems are the industry
standard, why pay more? When a cost analysis of wire rope systems is completed,
however, most companies will see that once you pay for the shock absorber and
rope trolley, the cost of track systems are very similar.
Two tracks system that are a popular
alternative to wire rope systems are called I-Beam Systems and Rigid Track
Systems. I-Beam Systems are rigid and horizontal in design, making them safer
than wire rope systems. However, their design makes worker movement more
difficult and cumbersome. The installation of I-Beam Systems also demands more
trusses and creates the need for large foundations, which can be more costly.
For companies in four-season
climates, the elements can play a major role in the inefficiency of I-Beam
Systems. Any climate that sees snow and ice can find their I-Beam Systems
rendered completely useless because the trolley on an I-Beam cannot move
through the elements. Companies that require a fall protection system in
"dirty jobs" will also find I-Beam systems to require a lot of track
cleaning in order to keep the trolley mobile, leading to an increase in worker
downtime.
By comparison to wire rope systems
and I-Beam systems, Rigid Track fall protection systems seem to be the best bet
for promoting worker safety and efficiency. Rigid Track systems have an
enclosed track that eliminate the potential hazard of the elements. From a cost
perspective, Rigid Track systems are also competitively priced with wire rope
systems and do not require the thousands of dollars in engineering inspection
and reinforcement.
From a safety standpoint, Rigid Track
fall protection systems seem to be the safest option for workers in a variety
of industries. While wire rope systems allow workers to fall as much as 8 feet
before providing "protection," the rigid beam on a horizontal track
system protects workers from a fall as soon as their hoist locks - there is no
additional fall.
