Working at height is one of the most common yet preventable causes of workplace accidents. Every industrial project — from oil refineries to PEB sites — must prioritize fall safety through the right systems and certified equipment. As one of the leading fall protection equipment manufacturers in India, Indian Inovatix designs reliable solutions that meet global safety standards and ensure long-term worker protection.

A well-engineered fall protection system doesn’t just prevent accidents; it ensures compliance, boosts worker confidence, and protects every team member working in high-risk environments.

1. Personal Fall Arrest Systems

A Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS) is designed to stop a worker’s fall once it occurs, minimizing impact forces. It typically includes:

• Full Body Harness – Distributes fall arrest forces across the torso and thighs.

• Connecting Device (Lanyard or Retractable Block) – Links the harness to an anchor.

• Anchor Point – A secure structure capable of supporting fall arrest loads.

2. Work Positioning and Restraint Systems

These systems prevent workers from reaching fall hazards in the first place. Unlike arrest systems, restraint systems keep workers safely within a defined working area.

Common components include:

• Body Belts or harnesses designed for limited movement.

• Adjustable Lanyards for controlled positioning.

Such systems are ideal for maintenance, inspection, and tower climbing work.

3. Vertical and Horizontal Lifeline Systems

Lifeline systems are essential for providing continuous protection while moving along elevated structures.

• Vertical Lifelines – Used on ladders, towers, or poles; often feature a rigid rail or cable with a sliding sleeve.

• Horizontal Lifelines – Provide mobility along platforms, rooftops, and structural beams.

Indian Inovatix’s Fixed Lifeline Systems are engineered for high-load performance and tested to meet global standards for oil & gas, energy, and infrastructure industries.

4. Retractable Fall Arrest Blocks

A Retractable Fall Arrest Block, also known as a Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL), automatically adjusts the line length as a worker moves. In the event of a fall, it locks instantly to minimize impact and fall distance.

Advantages:

• Lightweight and easy to install.

• Reduced free-fall distance.

• Ideal for confined space and high-access maintenance work.

5. Rescue and Emergency Evacuation Systems

Even the best protection plans need a rescue strategy. Rescue and evacuation systems ensure that workers can be retrieved quickly and safely after a fall or emergency.

These include:

• Emergency Escape Devices

• Confined Space Rescue Kits

• Rescue Winches & Tripods

Indian Inovatix’s Rescue Devices are trusted across energy plants, space research facilities, and heavy industrial sites for emergency preparedness and compliance.

6. Anchorage and Connectors

Every safety system depends on reliable anchors and connectors. Certified anchors ensure that fall arrest and lifeline systems are securely attached to structural points.

Products include:

• D-Rings, O-Rings, Hooks, and Buckles

• Anchor Plates and Slings
