Randall Wingfield honored for contributions to fall protection industry

At its recent symposium, the International Society of Fall Protection (ISFP) presented the Andrew Sulowski Award for Outstanding Contributions in the Field of Fall Protection to Randall Wingfield of Gravitec Systems, Inc. (Bainbridge Island, Washington). The award was presented on October 19, during the 2011 ISFP Symposium, which was held in conjunction with the A+A Trade Fair and Congress in Dusseldorf, Germany.

The ISFP board of directors selected Mr. Wingfield as this year’s award recipient for the contributions he made to the organization and the fall protection industry during his nine-year tenure as ISFP president, which ended in July 2010. His leadership of ISFP and his contributions to the ANSI Z359 and CSA Z259 fall protection standards committees have improved the industry as a whole. His work at Gravitec—providing equipment testing, training and fall protection solutions—has undoubtedly made a positive impact on work at heights and most importantly, has saved the lives of many workers.

“I personally know how much Randy has committed to the industry,” said current ISFP president Thom Kramer. “I am thrilled that the ISFP board recognized Randy’s contributions with this award.”

The award is named in honor of Andrew Sulowski, who has been instrumental in advancing fall protection safety. He holds four patents on fall protection equipment and has written two books and innumerable articles relating to the field. In addition to being a founding member of the ISFP, Mr. Sulowski has been an active member of the ASSE, CSA, and CSSE.
