Frequently Asked Fall Protection Questions
A Fall Protection System is designed to protect a worker or operator from fall-related injuries. Typically, a system will include the following:
Fall Restraint / Travel restraint:
Fall or travel restraint prevents the worker or operator from falling while they're performing tasks.
Fall Arrest:
Fall arrest stops the works fall before they can hit the floor or ground.
Work Procedures:
These procedures are designed to help eliminate or reduce the hazards while working at high heights.
If you're working at heights of 3 meters (10 feet) or greater, you are required to wear fall protection equipment. This may vary depending on where you're working and the circumstances of you're work environment. To see what requirements apply to you, please refer to your province's or state's fall protection regulations.
If fall protection equipment is required for your job site, you must wear a safety belt or full-body harness and have a lanyard, lifeline, and other connecting equipment. The equipment must also comply with the accepted standard for the jurisdiction of which it is used.
A user that has completed the fall protection training course, must inspect any equipment used in a fall protection system at the beginning of every work shift. All equipment must also be certified annually by a qualified person with written records of inspections and approvals. Keep in mind, some equipment may need to get certified more often then once annually. Ensure you consult with the manufacture's requirements for the inspection frequency.
