The need for Fall Protection at Distilleries & Breweries

Fall Protection for Distilleries & Breweries

  Distilling spirits and brewing beer is a complicated process using multiple stages of production in which work at height is almost always unavoidable. Within the setting of these specialized and often multilevel facilities, internal operations frequently require ladders, fixed stairs, platforms and catwalk systems and outside rooftops often feature networks of pipe and multiple obstacles to negotiate. All of which can make a distillery or brewery a hazardous place to work.

  For over 25 years, Flexible Lifeline Systems fall protection specialists and engineers have provided safety controls, systems, equipment, PPE, and training to a range of alcoholic beverage manufacturers and distributors, from small craft brewers to giant transnational brands. At the core of our work is an uncompromising standard to deliver compliant fall protection that is unobtrusive and doesn’t slow down the critical tasks.

Ways FLS Reduces Risk in Distilleries and Breweries:

 Our Single Point, Cable-Based and Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems give workers full, unencumbered mobility as they clean, inspect, and add ingredients to brite tanks, tuns, kettles, whirlpools, fermentation tanks and grants. Our modular FlexGuard and FlexWalk systems provide a corrosive-resistant alternative to welded guardrail & handrail and prevent workers and their tools from falling to lower levels. Our Mezzanine Pallet Systems and custom warehousing solutions protect and simplify the storage of grains and fluids.
