Fall Protection System

2026-11-03

The 140th Logistics Readiness Squadron , Vehicle Management Flight ( 140 LRS / LGRV ) at Buckley Space Force Base requires the acquisition and installation of a permanent , overhead fall protection system for the Refueling Maintenance ( RFM ) bay . This system is essential to provide a safe and compliant working environment for mechanics performing maintenance on R - 11 refueler trucks and other high - profile vehicles . Refueling Maintenance mechanics are routinely required to work on the top deck of R - 11 refueler trucks to service vents , manifolds , and other components . This work surface is at a height exceeding 10 feet above a concrete floor , presenting a significant fall hazard . To achieve compliance with established safety standards , AFI 91 - 203 , Air Force Consolidated Safety Standard , and Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) regulations mandate the use of an engineered fall protection system to mitigate the risk of serious injury or death in such circumstances . The current facility configuration lacks a compliant system , creating an unacceptable risk to personnel . The absence of a compliant fall protection system directly impacts the mission by creating an unsafe working condition that could result in a serious mishap . A fall - related incident would lead to the loss of a skilled technician , a unit safety stand - down , and a subsequent degradation of the 140th Wing ' s aircraft refueling capabilities . The installation of a permanent , engineered system is not an enhancement but a fundamental requirement to ensure the safe and uninterrupted execution of the vehicle maintenance mission and to meet all legal and regulatory safety obligations .
