protection from falling objects/falling-object protective structure
Explanation:
I see this as more oriented towards ensuring protection against objects falling from the shelves or 'pallet racks' (http://www.rackandshelf.com) in warehouse/factory environments.

I found these links for some pleasant reading.
The Iso stuff has to do with machines driven in hazardous situations-may not apply. But enjoy!
