Project Ideas

Business

SRL Rental and Recertification Service

Offer short- and long-term rentals of Class 2 leading-edge SRLs, with scheduled inspections, cleaning, and documentation. Use serialized QR tags to track location, last inspection, and OSHA/ANSI compliance, and provide swap-outs for any unit that trips its impact indicator or reaches inspection intervals.


On-Site Leading-Edge Safety Assessments

Provide job-walk consulting that identifies compliant anchor points, verifies edge conditions, estimates required fall clearance, and recommends compatible anchors and edge protection. Deliver a written rescue plan and photographic documentation, then follow up with toolbox talks for crews using the SRL.


Hands-On Fall Protection Training

Run accredited courses focused on leading-edge work. Include classroom modules on ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 requirements, equipment selection, and limitations, plus controlled, non-exposure practicals using training rigs to practice inspection, connection, and trip-free movement techniques with the SRL.


Mobile PPE Pop-Up and Inspection Van

Equip a service van to visit roofing and steel-erection sites, offering on-the-spot SRL inspections, tagging, minor service (cleaning, label replacement), and sales of compatible anchors and harnesses. Bundle same-day rental replacement to minimize downtime when units are removed from service.


Compliance Management Subscription

Develop a SaaS platform paired with asset tags that tracks SRL inventories, inspection dates, training records, and incident reports. Provide automated reminders, digital sign-offs, and a dashboard that shows which sites are outfitted with Class 2 leading-edge protection and which units require attention.

Creative

Modular Leading-Edge Training Rig

Build a portable, modular platform that simulates common leading-edge scenarios (steel deck, concrete slab edge, parapet) to demonstrate correct SRL setup, connection at foot level, and inspection of the impact-indicating snap hook. Use it as a safe, ground-level teaching prop for clearance planning and proper anchorage selection without exposing learners to real fall hazards.


Fall Protection Inspection Station

Create a dedicated inspection cart with lighting, magnification, and photo capture where technicians can document condition of the galvanized cable, connectors, housing, and absorber pack. Integrate QR-coded tags to log ANSI/OSHA compliance checks and automatically flag units showing impact indicators or wear for removal from service.


Decommissioned SRL Cutaway Display

Turn a retired, non-serviceable SRL into a cutaway demo that reveals the internal brake, drum, and energy absorber. Mount it on a board with labels and a simple dial that shows how arrest forces are managed. Use it in tool-box talks and safety orientations to make the invisible safety mechanisms tangible.


Jobsite Edge-Protection Kit Organizer

Assemble a clearly labeled, weatherproof case that pairs the SRL with compatible anchors, edge protectors, and a laminated quick-reference for selection and clearance estimation. Color-code components for roof, steel, or concrete jobs to streamline correct setup and reduce trip hazards with tidy cable routing.


Visual Cue System for Harness-End Checks

Design high-visibility, non-load-bearing sleeves and tags that sit near the harness-end absorber and impact indicator. The cues remind users to verify gate rating (3,600 lb), check the impact indicator status, and confirm Class 2 leading-edge suitability before connecting, reinforcing consistent pre-use checks.
