Safetyrespect Sweden

What Safetyrespect Sweden does

SafetyRespect Sweden AB is a Swedish fall protection specialist serving the construction industry, headquartered in Östersund. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes proprietary collective and personal fall protection systems — including edge protection (SR Standard), facade and gable solutions (FlexSystem), industrial hall systems (Hallsystem), safety screens, and personal protective equipment (harnesses, fall arrest blocks, lifelines). Products are designed in Sweden and manufactured in the company's own factory, with key items certified to EN 13374 Class A and OSHA 1926.502 standards.

The company monetizes through four streams: (1) hardware sales of fall protection equipment on a quote-based model, (2) equipment rental through depots across Sweden and internationally, (3) professional services including consulting, installation, and assembly, and (4) training through the SafetyRespect Academy. Go-to-market relies on dedicated fall protection advisors (säljare/rådgivare) providing on-site consultation, with supplementary distribution through owned subsidiaries in 10+ countries (Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Turkey, Germany, UK, USA) and channel partners such as Garda Anleggsikring in Norway. Enterprise customers include Veidekke, NCC, Wästbygg, Stockholmshem, and Merko Ehitus Eesti.

The company maintains ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2019 certifications extended to all subsidiaries through TÜV, and supports its product offering with an 80-page Fall Protection Guide, an interactive 3D demonstration tool, and a structured training and certification academy. The company operates its own production facilities, enabling customization and quality control, and expanded internationally via two 2022 acquisitions — Vivatec in Germany and Vivatec Safety Ltd in England — both of which retained their original brands. Kim Hallgren became CEO in 2024 after nine years as Nordic head.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• XSPlatforms: Specialist in suspended access and fall protection systems for facades and rooftops, offering anchors, davits, and BMUs. Comparable to SafetyRespect's Facade/FlexSystem range and Hall/Hallsystem offerings for low-slope roof structures.
• Layher: German specialist in scaffolding systems increasingly integrating fall protection solutions. Adjacent competitor for SafetyRespect because scaffolding and edge protection frequently substitute or complement each other on construction sites.

Direct peers

• Guardian Fall Protection: US-based specialist in construction fall protection including guardrails, anchors, harnesses, and self-retracting lifelines. Direct product-line overlap with SafetyRespect's SR Standard, FlexSystem, and personal fall protection kits.
• Tractel: Specialist in fall arrest systems, lifting equipment, and facade access (including cradle and BMU systems). Directly comparable to SafetyRespect in anchors, lifelines, and rooftop/facade access solutions for construction and maintenance.
• Skylotec: German manufacturer of fall protection and rope-access equipment (harnesses, lanyards, anchors, rescue devices). Direct overlap with SafetyRespect's personal fall protection range and a relevant European peer given SafetyRespect's German operations via Vivatec.
• Petzl: French-headquartered specialist in fall protection, rope access, and work-at-height equipment, offering harnesses, lanyards, anchors, and rescue devices. Closely comparable to SafetyRespect's Personligt fallskydd line and Academy training focus on work-at-height safety.
• Capital Safety (now under 3M): Legacy Capital Safety brands (DBI-SALA, Protecta, Capital Safety) are core fall-protection specialists serving construction and industrial markets, with product lines directly comparable to SafetyRespect's edge protection and personal fall protection offerings.

Broad incumbents

• MSA Safety: Global safety equipment manufacturer with a dedicated Fall Protection portfolio including Latchways and Capital Safety legacy brands, directly competing with SafetyRespect in construction fall protection while also serving broader industrial safety markets.
• Honeywell Safety Products: Through the Miller and Honeywell Fall Protection brands, this division offers harnesses, anchors, and lifeline systems used on construction sites, directly comparable to SafetyRespect's personal fall protection kits while leveraging a much larger industrial safety catalog.
• 3M (Safety Division): 3M's Personal Safety Division offers fall protection equipment (anchors, harnesses, self-retracting lifelines) under brands like DBI-SALA and Protecta, competing with SafetyRespect across both collective and personal protection while serving a much broader PPE portfolio.
