Fall Protection Site Assessment
Eliminate guesswork with data-driven risk analysis and 360 facility scanning. Get accurate compliance data, precise engineering, and highly reliable budgets from day one.
Key Benefits:
Measurements accurate to 1/16 of an inch, no tape measures, no guesswork
Budgets built on real site data, not estimates that fall apart during install
Fast LiDAR capture that keeps your operations running with minimal disruption
Is Your Safety Budget Based on "Guesstimates"?
Without accurate site data, safety projects are inherently risky, prone to unexpected change orders, costly installation delays, and hidden fees.
Modern facilities are complex. Decades of "Lego-style" additions, machinery upgrades, and missing or outdated as-built drawings make traditional manual tape-measure surveys highly
unreliable. When measurements are guessed or assumed, budgets inflate, and timelines stretch.
Don't let a lack of as-built drawings stall your safety compliance. A 360 assessment provides the clarity needed to move projects forward confidently.
The Future of Compliance: 360 LiDAR Site Surveys
We don't just walk your site; we capture it in its entirety.
Using advanced LiDAR technology, our team creates a perfect 1:1 360 Virtual Model of your facility. Instead of relying on hand-drawn sketches, we capture millions of data points to measure every beam, pipe, structural support, and hazard to within 1/16th of an inch.
The Benefit: We leave your facility with a flawless digital twin of your site. Because we capture every detail the first time, we reduce the need to return for missed measurements, keeping your project moving forward without interruption.
Traditional vs. 3D Fall Hazard Assessments

A highly secure, shareable link allowing you to view your site conditions remotely. This is the ultimate tool for securing corporate leadership buy-in.
Hazard Identification Report
Uncover hidden risks with a comprehensive safety gap analysis.
A detailed, actionable breakdown of fall protection OSHA and ANSI regulatory gaps discovered during the scan.
Precise Engineering Data
Custom engineering built entirely on hard data, not guesswork.
Preliminary system designs based on actual structural steel measurements and existing obstructions, never assumptions.
Reliable Budget
Financial certainty and transparent pricing from start to finish.
A quote you can trust. Because we know exactly what we are building and where it's going, we minimize the risk of surprise change orders during installation.
Who Needs an On-Site Fall Protection Assessment?
Complex Facilities
Manufacturing plants and distribution centers with layers of machinery, historical additions, and no current blueprints.
Remote Safety Directors
Professionals overseeing multiple plants who need to see exact site conditions without constantly flying to each location.
Strict Budget Projects
Procurement and safety teams who need reliable pricing and cannot afford "surprise" costs during installation.
Restricted Areas
Clean rooms, sterile environments, or high-security zones where minimizing contractor time and foot traffic is critical.
From Hazard Identification to OSHA Compliance
Bridging the gap between recognizing a hazard and implementing a permanent fix requires a proven, data-driven workflow. Here is how we do it:
On-Site Fall Hazard Assessment
Our fall protection experts identify non-compliant areas, such as roofs, unprotected edges, skylights, and machinery gaps, evaluating them strictly against OSHA 1910, 1926, and ANSI Z359 standards.
360 Data Capture
We deploy rapid LiDAR scanning to map the exact dimensions of the fall hazards and all surrounding structures, including conduits, HVAC runs, and load-bearing beams.
Regulatory Analysis & Engineering
HySafe processes the point-cloud scan data to design a custom solution that meets your specific requirements, structural realities, and the precise clearance margins required by OSHA.
The Compliance Roadmap
You receive a "turnkey" plan. We clearly present the exact hazard, the fully engineered compliant solution, and the fixed cost to safely install it.
The ROI of HySafe 360 Assessment
HySafe 360 assessments capture every detail upfront - helping you control expenses, streamline projects, and get the best return on your safety investment.
Key ROI Pillars:
Minimize Change Orders: We design obstructions that manual surveys miss.
Reduced Downtime: We capture the site in hours, not days. Your operations keep running while we design off-site.
Faster Leadership: A virtual tour helps stakeholders quickly see the hazard, improving communication and speeding decisions.
Missing Blueprints? No Problem.
50% of the facilities we visit lack up-to-date drawings. A HySafe 360 fall protection assessment provides the upfront data you need to accelerate your safety projects, lower your overall costs, and streamline construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fall protection site assessment?
A fall protection site assessment evaluates your facility to pinpoint fall hazards and develop engineered solutions for strict OSHA and ANSI compliance. At HySafe, we don't just do basic walkthroughs with a notepad and tape measure. We use advanced 360° LiDAR scanning to capture your facility in its entirety, delivering a flawlessly engineered, fixed-cost compliance roadmap that eliminates the guesswork.
What is included in a fall hazard assessment?
A thorough fall hazard assessment includes identification of all unprotected edges, floor openings, skylights, and elevated work areas; evaluation against OSHA 1910/1926 and ANSI/ASSP Z359 standards; 3D data capture using LiDAR; a detailed compliance roadmap with engineered solutions; and a shareable virtual facility tour for remote stakeholder review.
How does 3D scanning reduce fall protection installation costs?
3D LiDAR scanning reduces costs three ways: systems are designed around actual obstructions (fewer change orders), on-site capture takes hours not days (less downtime), and complete first-visit data capture eliminates return trips. Digital planning can eliminate up to 40% of unbudgeted changes during construction.
How long does a fall protection assessment take?
With 3D LiDAR technology, on-site data capture typically takes hours rather than the days required by traditional manual surveys. The full timeline from scan to compliance roadmap depends on facility size and complexity.
What if my facility doesn't have current blueprints?
This is common, roughly 50% of the facilities we assess lack up-to-date drawings. Our 3D LiDAR scanning captures the as-built reality of your facility regardless of whether drawings exist, providing engineering-grade measurements for accurate system design.
Can you assess facilities in restricted or high-security areas?
Absolutely. Because our advanced LiDAR process captures all necessary data rapidly in a single visit, it drastically reduces contractor foot traffic. This makes it the perfect solution for clean rooms, sterile environments, classified areas, or high-security zones where minimizing site time is critical.
