Conduct pre-job safety meeting and task hazard analysis. Inspect all fall protection equipment before use. All equipment that is suspected of being defective is to be ribboned and returned to the safety manager for evaluation/removal from service. If working at or above 3m(or lower if required by client), a fall protection plan must be completed. Be fully conversant with protection system and fall protection plan. Ensure you know capabilities of fall protection equipment. Ensure barricades, ribbons and signs identify restricted areas. Ensure you understand the procedures for rescue of workers who may be unable to rescue themselves from an elevated work area. Ensure you know your anchor points. Ensure you tie off to an anchor point that is capable of supporting your weight without causing damage to the anchor point. Utilize buddy system and continually check each other’s harness and D ring to ensure that the harness is not too loose and or the D ring has not slipped down the back. Note. Some jobsites may have require fall protection to be in place at lower heights. Part 3 – Types of fall protection. : Part 3 – Types of fall protection. Engineered controls. Travel restraint systems. Personal fall arrest systems. Part 4 – Identification of hazards. : Part 4 – Identification of hazards. Hazards encountered while working at heights are normally much the same as working on the ground with the exception of falling and either being injured or requiring some for of rescue. There are four general categories of hazards while working at heights. Atmospheric conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and precipitation. Medical or psychological conditions, such as vertigo or fear of heights. Attitude problems, such as complacency to working at heights, or horseplay at heights. Housekeeping, while always a good idea to keep good housekeeping practices, it is even more important while working at heights as the housekeeping issues can affect the people working at heights as well as people working below. Part 5 – Anchor selection and assessment. : Part 5 – Anchor selection and assessment. Your fall arrest equipment is only as good as the anchor you are attached too. Anchor points are to be pre-selected by the employer, and be capable of safely withstanding 16kn(3600pounds-force) in any direction, per worker attached to the anchor point. Anchor points need to visually inspected prior to attaching a fall arrest system to it, and must not be used if they are damaged. An anchor used to support or suspend a platform cannot also be used as an anchor for a fall arrest system. Part 6 – Correct use of connecting hardware. : Part 6 – Correct use of connecting hardware. Connecting hardware such as snap hooks and carabineers must self-closing and self-locking. Carabineers are designed to be loaded along their major axis (end to end) with the gate closed. Loading the carabineer in any other manner will reduce its strength to the point where it fail under normal loads. A carabineer loaded with the gate open, or loaded along its minor axis(gate to spine), could fail at half its rating. Part 7- Effects of a fall on the human body. : Part 7- Effects of a fall on the human body. Maximum arresting force. The personal fall arrest system must limit the arresting force on a worker to 6kn(1350pounds-force), or 8kn(1800pounds-force) if using an E6 type shock absorber. Purpose of shock and energy absorbers. To arrest a fall in a controlled manner, it is essential that there is sufficient energy absorption capacity in the system. Without the designed energy absorption, the fall can only be arrested by applying large forces to the worker and the anchorage, which can result in either or both being severely effected. Effects of a fall on the human body cont. : Effects of a fall on the human body cont. Swing fall. If involved in a fall while using a shock-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, with an anchorage point that is not positioned directly overhead, a swing fall or pendulum effect will occur. Striking an object while swinging can lead to serious injury. Free fall. Free fall must be limited by selecting the shortest lenght of lanyard that will still permit unimpeded performance of duties. Lanyards should be secured to an anchor no lower than the workers shoulder height to limit free fall. Part 8 – Pre use inspections. : Part 8 – Pre use inspections.
