Fall Protection SOlutions
Fall protection is required when employees are exposed to a fall of six feet or more in construction, four feet or more in general industry, when operating boom lifts, or at any height when working over dangerous equipment. It’s also one of the most frequently cited OSHA violations year after year. We help you identify hazards, meet OSHA requirements, and protect your workers from serious injuries.

Fall Protection Training & Services
Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities on the job. The problem usually isn’t that people don’t care—it’s that they’re under pressure to get the job done, and sometimes safety gets overlooked.
At Forward Safety, we help you fix that. We make fall protection simple, practical, and something your team can actually follow.
