Engineering Capabilities

Northern Strands is a leader in the design of engineered fall protection systems. Our team works closely with our clients to design, build and certify fall protection systems that comply with regulations and standards.

Design of Custom Solutions

Northern Strands will design what is required to build a fall protection system that meets safety regulations and that works in your unique environment. All situations and locations that present a fall hazard must be addressed. Northern Strands has had the privilege of addressing a wide variety of customer fall protection needs throughout North America.

Dual-Stamped Drawings

With a greater understanding and importance being placed on safety in the workplace, the standards and guidelines are everchanging and are becoming more stringent every year. Northern Strands recognizes that these more stringent criteria drastically increase the liability of owners and decision-makers. Therefore, Northern Strands is committed to limiting that liability by providing drawings that have stamps in every province in Canada certifying BOTH the fall protection system AND the structure that the system is attached to. This process sets Northern Strands apart from its competitors and provides peace-of-mind and protection in the unfortunate event of a workplace incident.

Analyze Potential Falls

Part of the certification process includes analyzing the force of falls and ensuring that the solution provided will keep your employees safe.
