Every year, more and more construction workers
die from falling off ladders and scaffolding than
other construction related accidents. It is
important therefore to prevent such mishaps and
prepare for them in case they happen with
appropriate fall protection systems in place.

• It is important not just to install such devices
  but also train the team in correct usage and
  safety.
• If working at a height of six feet or more, it
  should be mandatory to use some sort of
  protective device like guard rail systems or a
  personal fall arrest system.

• Make sure the fall protection system being used
  is appropriate for the specific job and site.
  Presence of grease, oil, water and electrical
  hazards etc. need to be kept in mind.
• Get regular inspections for your system to ensure
  their proper functioning.

• Make sure the equipment is OSHA compliant and
  meets the required standards and goes through the
  necessary tests before being installed and used.
• The system in place should protect but not
  interfere with the work being performed. Factors
  like space constraint and height should be taken
  into consideration.

• All four systems namely, anchorage, body
  harness, connector and deceleration device are
  equally important.
• The devices must all be compatible with one
  another. They should be tested as a complete
  system before usage.
