Fall Protection for UAE Construction and Industry

Falls from height remain the leading cause of fatality on construction sites. In the UAE, comprehensive fall protection is both a legal requirement under OSHAD and a moral imperative.

Full-Body Harnesses

Distribute fall arrest forces across shoulders, chest, and thighs. Key criteria: number and placement of D-rings, padding, quick-connect buckles, and sizing range for the diverse UAE workforce.

Lanyards and Energy Absorbers

Single-leg for simple fall arrest, twin-leg for 100% tie-off. Energy absorbers limit force to maximum 6 kN. Self-retracting lifelines offer greater freedom of movement.

Anchor Points

Must support at least 22.2 kN per attached worker. Types include structural anchors, temporary roof anchors, horizontal lifelines, and engineered tie-backs.
