When doing a construction job either at home or at work, safety should be the number one priority. Failing to take the necessary safety precautions can result in an injury or even a fatality. Injuries can put you or your employees out of work for weeks and even months, resulting in lost productivity, time, and wages. In order to protect yourself and your employees on the job, it’s important to invest in fall protection equipment. If someone does fall from a ladder or a scaffold, having this gear on hand and properly in use can prevent a catastrophic injury.
Types of Fall Protection Equipment
Fall protection equipment is manufactured and sold in order to protect workers who commonly use ladders or scaffolding in their daily tasks. The purpose of this equipment is to prevent falls to to minimize the damage caused if a fall does occur. Fall protection equipment can come as separate pieces or as a kit. At Industrial Ladder, we offer several different types of fall protection, including:
These harnesses come in several different types: standard, climbing, positioning, construction, and retrieval. Each type is specifically designed to protect the user when performing different tasks, such as inspecting building materials or climbing scaffolding to reach high areas of the construction site. Every Werner Blue Armor 2000 harness features easily accessible adjustment points, bright colors for visibility of workers, back and shoulder pads for user comfort, high-quality, steel alloy D-rings for durability and safety, and lightweight webbing for easy inspection. Werner Blue Armor 2000 harnesses combine strength and lightweight material for a safe, easy-to-use fall protection tool.
- Lifelines
Industrial Ladder offers several different types of lifelines, used to anchor workers while they are working at heights or on harnesses in the air or on ladders. The Werner AutoCoil Self-Retracting Lifeline ranges in length from 6 to 60 feet, and features a retracting mechanism that makes use easy and convenient. It also includes aluminum and stainless steel locking mechanisms, and the option of stainless steel, galvanized, or synthetic cable, making it a durable, strong system for use on construction sites. Industrial Ladder also carries Werner vertical lifelines, which feature manual adjustments and shock-absorbent materials, and poly-blend lifeline rope, for use in any lifeline system.

Industrial Ladder offers a variety of Werner lanyards, which, when used correctly, can reduce the impact of a fall on a worker.
- Werner Blue Armor 1000 Harnesses
These harnesses are constructed similarly to the Werner Blue Armor 2000 harnesses, but they are an earlier model of the harness with slightly less padding. They still have the same safety features as the Werner Blue Armor 2000 harnesses,making them a less expensive option that still effectively protects worker safety.

Anchors are necessary because they safely ground the worker to a solid surface, preventing falls and injury. Industrial Ladder carries hand grip anchors, I-beam sliding anchors, reusable concrete anchors, swivel concrete anchors, toggle bolt anchors, and adjustable anchor straps.
