At Safety Pack, we know that working at height is one of the riskiest aspects of any job site. Falls remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities, and the impact is felt across construction, warehousing, logistics, maintenance, and beyond. While regulations and training are crucial, the right protection on the ground makes all the difference. That is why our focus is on practical, fast, and cost-effective solutions like the Fall-Pac Unit. It is the most versatile and affordable fall arrest bag system available, designed to keep teams safe and projects moving.
Why workplace falls happen
Many falls are not the result of recklessness but of everyday risks that often go unnoticed until it is too late. Common hazards include:
- Unprotected edges on scaffolding, rooftops, or mezzanine platforms.
- Fragile surfaces such as skylights, brittle roofing, or false ceilings.
- Improvised access where workers use ladders or makeshift platforms without adequate stability.
- Weather conditions like rain or ice making surfaces slippery.
- Cluttered work areas that reduce safe movement and increase the chance of missteps.
Each of these hazards has one thing in common. They are predictable and preventable with the right planning, awareness, and equipment.
The role of fall protection
A proactive safety culture combines training, hazard spotting, and the correct equipment. Harnesses and guardrails play their part, but when workers are exposed to a risk of falling from height, impact protection is essential. This is where Fall Protection Equipment UK solutions, like our Fall-Pac Unit, step in. They provide a critical layer of defence that catches workers if the unexpected happens.

Weighing only 6 to 10 kilograms, the bags can be carried and positioned without specialist equipment. Installation takes just minutes, allowing teams to move quickly from one task to the next without delay.

Proven performance
The Fall-Pac Unit is built from durable woven polypropylene with a protective coating, resisting water ingress even in tough outdoor conditions. Inside, specialised polystyrene absorbs energy effectively, reducing the risk of serious injury in the event of a fall.
The units are suitable for working heights up to 2.7 metres, or up to 3.4 metres when doubled up. This makes them a practical solution for a wide range of real world scenarios.
Addressing workplace fall hazards with Fall-Pac
Let us revisit the most common workplace fall hazards and see how the Fall-Pac Unit can directly support prevention strategies.
- Unprotected edges: When guardrails are not an option, Fall-Pac Units positioned along work areas create a reliable safety net.
- Fragile surfaces: Workers tasked with inspecting or repairing roofs benefit from the reassurance of arrest bags in case a surface gives way.
- Access equipment risks: Tasks performed on ladders or temporary platforms are safer when supported by impact absorbing units beneath.
- Weather conditions: Rain or ice cannot be controlled, but their consequences can be. Fall-Pac Units reduce the severity of slips or falls caused by slick surfaces.
- Clutter and restricted spaces: In busy work zones, the lightweight and portable nature of the units makes them easy to deploy even where space is tight.
Building a safer future
Investing in fall protection is about more than compliance. It is about creating a workplace culture that values safety as highly as productivity. Every worker deserves the assurance that their wellbeing is protected, no matter the risks their job presents.
At Safety Pack, our mission is to make that protection simple, accessible, and effective. The Fall-Pac Unit is proof of that commitment. It combines practical features with proven safety performance, all at a cost that fits real world budgets.
