MSA Safety, global manufacturer of fall protection systems and solutions, has launched a design service to support architects in fulfilling their safety responsibilities.

Architects and principal designers must prioritize safety throughout a building’s design, construction, and long-term maintenance. It’s a lot to think about in the context of everything else - and MSA gets that.

We all know the benefits of designing safety into a building from the outset. Design plays a fundamental role in keeping people safe while they work at height, and integrating a fall protection system into that design enables architects to deliver a structure that looks good and is safe to work on.

MSA Safety spends a lot of time talking to architects and designers and receives a lot of questions about how architects can more easily implement fall-protection systems into their design plans. With several factors to consider, MSA Safety aims to support designers and architects in developing their innovative ideas with safety in mind.

In response to this industry need, MSA now offers a free design service - which provides a full rooftop safety specification for building projects, including detailed fall protection system layouts, standard fixing details, and BIM models.

Stuart Pierpoint, Specification Manager for MSA Safety (UK and Middle East) explains:

“Architects, designers, and specifiers already have a lot on their plate before thinking about how to build-in safety in a way that doesn’t compromise design integrity. MSA Safety has a long history of providing products and solutions that do exactly this, and our free design service helps architects bring the safety aspect of their project to life. Our design team (who bring decades of experience) provide a tailored design service, that will meet the needs of their specific brief, for free and without any commitments.

“Anything we can do to make the lives of our customers and partners a bit easier while enhancing safety is a win-win situation. We think this offering will have a hugely positive impact in the design and construction world, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it rolled out.”

If you are looking for a fall protection system but aren’t quite sure where to begin, contact MSA Safety. Their design team will provide a tailored design service to meet your project’s unique needs.
