Fall protection equipment refers to various products and equipment that are used for preventing industrial workers from injuries when working at heights. Some of the commonly used fall protection equipment includes on-body and off-body products. On-body products, such as safety nets, body belts, connecting devices, suspension belts and full body and chest harnesses, are primarily attached to or worn on the body to arrest falls. On the other hand, off-body products, such as skylight guards and guard rails, are installed on a physical structure to prevent the worker from falling. These products find extensive applications across various industries, including construction, mining, transportation, utilities and telecommunication.
Rapid industrialization across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. In line with this, owing to the lack of appropriate safety measures at various manufacturing, mining and other industrial sites, there is an increasing occurrence of occupational hazards. This has resulted in the widespread adoption of fall protection equipment to preserve valuable human resources. Furthermore, significant growth in the construction industry is also providing a boost to the market growth. Construction sites require workers to operate at elevated platforms, walkways, steep roofs, wall openings and edges of excavated areas and are highly susceptible to fall. Hence, the workers are usually secured with the appropriate fall protection equipment to prevent any accidents. Other factors, including the development of protection equipment for recreational activities, such as rock climbing, zip-lining, ice climbing, mountaineering and bungee jumping, along with the implementation of stringent government policies promoting occupational safety and health standards, are projected to drive the market further.
