Decision Matrix
Cage, Fall Arrest, or Both
The cage-versus-system question is decided less by preference than by three numbers: your climb height, your standard regime, and the compliance date your asset must survive. The matrix reads those together. Note the OSHA column twice — the answer for an existing caged ladder changes on 18 November 2036, when the existing-cage exemption closes and every caged climb over 24 ft needs a ladder safety or personal fall arrest system. Sites that plan the retrofit now spread the cost; sites that wait buy it in a rush.
Both products ship from one factory with one documentation set, so combined orders carry a single compliance file.
| Your Situation | Cage Alone | Fall Arrest System | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Climb under 3 m | Not required | Not required | Plain fixed ladder |
| 3–10 m, EN or AS regime | Required above 3 m | Required above 10 m only | Cage, platform at 6 m |
| Over 10 m, any regime | Insufficient alone under EN | Required | System, usually with cage |
| US existing caged ladder, before Nov 2036 | Exempt | Not yet required | Maintain cage, plan retrofit |
| US existing caged ladder, after Nov 2036 | Exemption closed | Required over 24 ft | Add system to the cage |
Fall Protection Systems Quick Card — Passive and Active on One Page
Cage, Rail, Rope Grab or Platform — What Each One Asks of Your Operation
Every fall protection system protects — the difference is what it demands in return. The quick card puts the four systems side by side with the operational bill each one hands you.
| System | Protects By | Asks of You |
|---|---|---|
| Safety cage | containing the fall physically — hoops and straps from 2.2 m | nothing per user; inspection rounds only — passive steel, no PPE issue |
| Vertical rail with trolley | following the climber, arresting within the carriage | trained users, harness issue, fit checks, recertification cycles |
| Rope grab and lifeline | locking onto a cable under load | the same training regime plus lifeline inspection and replacement schedule |
| Rest platforms | cutting the fall distance by staging the climb | platform modules in the build — $150–400 each when planned at drawing stage |
Three regime notes that decide the card
- OSHA reads 24 ft as the trigger — above it, pre-2018 ladders keep a cage (to 2036); new installs need LSS or PFAS — the cage is the branch with no recurring user obligations
- EN ISO 14122-4 stages long climbs — systems to 10 m with platforms at 6 m; the cage carries the protection, the platforms carry the recovery
- Mixed sites mix systems honestly — a cage for the many, a rail for the certified few; what never mixes is an undocumented climber on either
Passive Protection, Active Results
Five Things the Cage Route Does for Your Fall Protection File
Choosing passive protection is an operations decision as much as an engineering one — the outcomes below are operational.
| Feature | Advantage | Your Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Passive enclosure from 2.2 m | protection without PPE | no harness inventory, no issue log, no recertification calendar |
| Every-user protection | works for trained and occasional climbers alike | contractors are covered without competency paperwork |
| Rungs at 1.5 kN, Φ20 at 280 mm | arrest geometry built into the climb itself | the system passes load questions at design review |
| DoC naming both regimes | OSHA 1910.28 and EN ISO 14122-4 covered | one file answers the US reviewer and the EU reviewer |
| Rest platforms as bolt-on modules | fall staging planned at drawing stage | long climbs meet the 6 m platform logic without retrofit |
