Aviation Fall

Protection

EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW TO
KEEP YOUR WORKERS SAFE AT HEIGHTS

Workers in the aviation industry operate high above the ground even when the plane is in the hangar. Fall protection is crucial during every process, from manufacturing to routine aircraft maintenance. The XSERIES line of fall protection systems consists of simple but effective equipment for aircraft fall protection. Get in touch with Malta Dynamics to learn more about how the XSERIES can ensure safety and compliance in the aviation industry.

Relevant Fall Risks and OSHA Regulations

Safety is paramount in any industry, and that includes aviation. Every workforce handling aircraft must follow the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) regulations for fall protection to prevent serious injury, keep projects on schedule and avoid costly fines.  Standard 1926.501 for fall safety was one of the most violated OSHA regulations in 2020, so it's essential to prioritize systems that will help your company satisfy all safety requirements. Under this standard, employers must provide fall protection in various situations that involve exposure to heights of six feet or more. Some of the 1926.501 fall protection standards most relevant to aviation include: 

The above OSHA regulations and others can apply to the various circumstances aviation workers encounter every day. Tasks like indoor or outdoor aircraft maintenance, plane refueling, helicopter blade inspection and many others require employees to work at dangerous heights, yet finding anchor points for fall protection can be difficult. XSERIES fall protection systems help navigate the aviation industry's unique safety challenges.

XSERIES Mobile Fall Protection Systems for Aviation

The XSERIES offers flexible aviation facility fall protection and ensures employee safety even where overhead anchoring points are unavailable. Each machine consists of a sturdy base and an anchor arm that reaches high into the air. Rather than anchoring to something on the plane, your employees can walk freely knowing a secure overhead system will catch them if they slip. 

 

We offer both stationary and mobile XSERIES units that operate at different heights and accommodate various numbers of workers. Our XSERIES aircraft fall protection models include:

How to Use an XSERIES Fall Protection System

XSERIES fall protection systems are easy to use. To start, move the system close to the aircraft by towing it with an automobile or carrying it by its forklift slots. Detach the vehicle when the system is where you need it to be, then chock the wheels if using a unit other than the X500 and lower the outbreak jack for support. The XSERIES system should be within two degrees of level as shown by the front and side levels. 

To lift the anchor arm, disconnect the tie-down straps in front of and behind the machine. For mobile fall protectors, connect the wired controller to the system and use it to raise the arm until the anchor points are at waist or eye level. Attach a self-retracting lifeline to an anchor point, then connect the lifeline’s hook to a tag line. To finish, raise the anchor arm to the desired height, lower the snap hope and connect the tag line to your harness’s D-Ring. 

You can enhance your fall protection system with various useful attachments, so browse our XSERIES options online.

NEED FALL PROTECTION ADVICE?

For a $99 it's a great deal I'm a union ironworker and I wear a harness all the time. For $99 I'm very satisfied. I love the quick release chest/ leg straps. The padding on the shoulders is very nice and helps from the shoulder straps digging into your neck. I climb around on steel buildings all day and this harness is very comfortable. I've spent $300 plus on a sala harness b4 and don't see a difference.

Very happy with these harnesses. We don’t like the bulky harnesses that simply cause more issues than anything else. This one allows us to get into tight spots without hanging up on everything.
