Fall protection installation

Our highly competent project managers and technicians are experts at following architectural plans. We will resource all necessary fall protection system components and complete installations according to requirements. We can also provide BIM models for integration into your specifications.

If fall protection is a late addition to a new build project, we will assess the structure – utilising our technical knowledge and practical understanding of worker safety – to propose the ideal height safety solution for your needs. Click here to download MSA Latchways BIM models.
