Fall Protection
Fall protection refers to all fall arrest devices and accessories.
We are talking about:
- Fall arresters: Fall arrest devices are used to prevent operators from falling to the ground in the event of a fall.
- Work positioning: Equipment that keeps operators in their work position while leaving their hands free.
- Work positioning: Used to prevent users from reaching a location from which a fall is possible.
- Suspended work: Allows the operator to work with both feet off the ground while leaving their hands free.
Restraint and suspension devices are not designed to arrest falls. A fall arrest device must be used in addition.
