Sales Professional for New York

The Company

 

 

Flexible Lifeline Systems, Inc. (FLS) is a Houston-based company, an Equal Opportunity Employer, which is the U.S. market leader in engineered fall protection systems.  These engineered solutions are designed to protect against catastrophic fall hazards while people are working at heights and are designed to assist companies in meeting compliance with OSHA.  The Company began operations in 1996 and quickly established itself as a dominant player in the growing fall protection industry.  While safety requirements have existed for years, the increases in awareness, regulations and a corporate desire for safer workplaces to limit liability has been the catalyst for recent industry growth. 

 

OSHA restrictions and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requirements are forcing companies to take measures to protect workers from heights starting at four feet.  Beginning in 1998 OSHA and the NIOSH required businesses do more to protect workers from deaths and injuries related to fall hazards.  Between 1980 and 1997, falls from elevations in the US were the fourth leading cause of occupational fatalities.  During that time, 8,102 deaths caused by catastrophic falls accounted for 10% of all work place fatalities.  Fall related deaths accounted for an average of 540 deaths per year, during that period alone.  Since 1996, FLS has established itself nationwide and developed a customer base that includes many of the world’s largest companies.  FLS has become the leader in engineered fall protection systems by providing a consultative approach and customized engineered solutions that meet the growing desire of corporations to protect their workforce and to become compliant with regulatory requirements. 

 

FLS provides turnkey solutions that encompass multiple innovative and proven methods for surpassing the safety needs of its customers.  These enhanced solutions are gaining the attention of some of the largest companies in the world, as they move to better protect their workforce and upgrade their facilities to comply with modern regulations.
