LADDER FALL-PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Plan protection for the climb and landing.

Review a fixed-ladder cable safety system and separate upper-landing protection. Start with the ladder structure, compatible equipment and how people transition onto the roof or platform.

THE SITUATION

Review the climb and the upper transition separately.

A fixed-ladder safety system must be reviewed as a complete assembly, including the supporting ladder, mounting points, compatible fall arrester, harness and connectors. The upper landing and access opening require a separate protection review.

FIND THE RIGHT APPROACH

Review climbing protection and related landing protection.

A cable-based ladder safety system protects the climb as part of a compatible personal fall-protection assembly. Landing guardrails address the transition at the top; the two systems are not interchangeable.

StopCable Ladder Safety System

Cable-based climbing protection

BEST FOR

Compatible fixed ladders where a cable safety system suits the climb and supporting structure.

StopCable requires compatible components, including a fall arrester sold separately and an approved climbing harness. Confirm system configuration, mounting requirements and availability before specifying.

Ladder Defender

Related: guarded upper landing

BEST FOR

Rooftop ladder transitions that need a separate guarded access area.

Ladder Defender provides guardrails at the rooftop access point, with an optional self-closing gate. It is not a personal fall-arrest system and does not replace protection along the climb.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT

What do we need for a recommendation?

Send ladder and landing photos, available drawings and the details below. Your project team can then review system compatibility and the complete access arrangement.

  • Ladder height, rung dimensions, rail spacing, material and structural condition.
  • Proposed mounting points and any existing cage or climbing safety system.
  • Upper landing layout, opening width and nearby exposed edges.
  • Existing harnesses, fall arresters and connectors for compatibility review.
  • Number of users, access frequency, training and rescue arrangements, and timeline.
Discuss your project

Have a qualified project team confirm the complete system, structural support, manufacturer instructions, inspection, training and rescue arrangements. Do not assume a cage, landing guardrail or security door replaces climbing fall protection.
