Fall Arrest Systems Inspections in Ontario

Fall Arrest Systems - Inspections
HITE Engineering provides annual anchor safety inspections (annual window cleaning anchor inspections). Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations (OHSA), duty of care regarding facade access systems (building roof anchors, suspended platforms, monorails, roof cars, etc.) is the responsibility of building owners and managers. As duty of care and due diligence are becoming increasingly stringent in Ontario, it is important for building owners and facility managers to be confident that their facade access and fall arrest protection systems are safe to use. We offer the following services to ensure your fall arrest systems are structurally safe, functional, and compliant with the OHSA requirements:

In accordance with Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations, when workers are exposed to potential fall hazards it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the worker is protected. These hazards include falling more than three meters, falling into operating machinery, falling into water or other liquids as well as other types of hazards typically seen on job sites. Because this is one of the leading causes of injury in industrial and construction settings, it needs to be addressed diligently. We offer the following services to ensure you are providing your workers with a safe work environment:
