About
Shield Fire and Safety Inc. delivers expert OSHA-compliant fall protection harness inspections to ensure your personal fall arrest systems (body harnesses, lanyards, and related components) are safe, reliable, and fully compliant with OSHA standards (29 CFR 1910.140 and 1926.502). Our certified competent inspectors perform detailed visual and tactile examinations—checking for wear, cuts, fraying, mildew, damaged stitching, hardware corrosion, deformed D-rings/buckles, legible manufacturer tags, and other deterioration—while following manufacturer guidelines and ANSI Z359 best practices. We conduct thorough on-site inspections with minimal disruption, accommodating individual harnesses or fleet-wide programs for businesses of any size, from small contractors to large industrial operations. Services include pre-use guidance, annual/periodic competent-person inspections, documentation/reporting, recommendations for repair or replacement, and removal from service of defective equipment to prevent fall hazards. We come directly to your facility or jobsite, helping you maintain regulatory compliance, protect your workforce from elevated work risks, and achieve complete peace of mind in fall protection readiness.
