OSHA 1926 Subpart M and DOLE DO-13 compliant fall protection systems for Philippine construction sites — engineered, installed, and maintained by certified specialists.
Falls are the leading cause of fatalities on Philippine construction sites. DOLE Department Order No. 13 mandates fall protection for any work at height above 1.8 meters. OSHA 1926.502 sets the engineering standards for system design and load capacity. Non-compliance results in stop-work orders, fines, and — most critically — preventable deaths. Our systems are engineered to meet both standards, protecting your workers and your project.
System Types
OSHA 1926.502(b) / DOLE DO-13
Passive perimeter protection for floor edges, roof edges, and open-sided platforms. No worker action required — the barrier is always in place.
Full GuideOSHA 1926.502(c) / ANSI A10.11
Collective fall arrest for large open areas, formwork operations, and multi-level construction where guardrails are impractical.
Full GuideOSHA 1926.502(d) / ANSI Z359
Individual harness, lanyard, and anchorage systems for workers performing tasks at height where collective protection is not feasible.

| Factor | Guardrail | Safety Net | PFAS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work Type | Permanent edges, walkways, platforms | Large open decks, formwork, multi-level | Roofing, steel erection, confined access |
| Worker Mobility | High — no PPE required | High — collective protection | Moderate — harness required |
| Installation Time | 1–3 days per floor | 2–5 days per bay | Hours per anchorage point |
| Reusability | High — modular systems | Moderate — inspect after each use | High — harness lifespan 5 years |
| Cost Range | Moderate upfront, low ongoing | Moderate — rental available | Low upfront, training required |
Standards
DOLE DO-13
Construction Safety & Health
Mandates fall protection for work above 1.8m, requires safety officer on-site, and sets inspection protocols.
OSHA 1926 Subpart M
Fall Protection
Defines engineering requirements for guardrails (200 lb top rail load), safety nets (drop test), and PFAS (5,000 lb anchorage).
ANSI Z359
Fall Protection Code
Comprehensive standard for PFAS components: harnesses, lanyards, self-retracting lifelines, and anchorage connectors.
ANSI A10.11
Safety Nets
Specifies net mesh size, border rope strength, installation clearance, and drop test requirements.
