UNDERSTANDING FALL PROTECTION

A combination of anchorage placement and lanyard length adjustment which will not physically permit the operator to reach a fall risk position unless the lanyard is incorrectly adjusted. Control on a person’s movement by use of a Fall-arrest system, which entails connection to an anchorage using an adjustable lanyard or other components that can be adjusted for length as necessary to physically prevent the person from reaching a position at which there is a risk of a free or limited free fall. Restraint Technique

Where any possible fall will only be a limited free fall (<600 mm): • A lower-body harness. • Anchorage with ultimate strength 12 kN. All other cases: • A full-body harness. • Anchorage with ultimate strength 12 kN. Requirements Any situation where access to the work can be achieved entirely on a working surface with secure footing and without exposure to a fall provided that the equipment is correctly adjusted. Typical Application

Total Restraint

A system where no fall is possible.

Requirements

Full Body Harness Adjustable Lanyard to prevent the user from reaching areas or positions where the risk of a fall from a height exists. (Lanyards without shock absorbers are allowed).

Typical Application

Total Restraint is defined as the control on a person’s movement by means of a connection to an anchorage in such a way that it will physically prevent the person from reaching any position at which there is risk of a fall, either over an edge, through a surface or due to a failed movable platform.
