1 Fall Protection 1

2 Introduction to Fall Protection Falls account for 13% of fatal injuries 11% of these fatal falls were to a lower level Workers may be required to perform tasks at great heights which puts them at risk to injuries and death from falls Knowing which fall arrest system to use and how to properly secure it will aid in the prevention of injuries and fatalities due to a fall 2

3 When Fall Protection is Necessary When working under any of the following conditions fall protection equipment must be worn Heights 4 feet or above in general industry Heights 6 feet or above in construction industry Heights more than 6 feet above the established working surface without guardrails Immediate danger below the working surface Working on a tank roof Lifting or lowering worker by air hoist or hydraulic winch 3

4 Types of Fall Protection Other than guardrails, the most commonly used form of fall protection is fall arrest equipment. Guardrails and handrails Nets and barricades Ladder climbing devices Restraining devices Hole covers Fall arrest equipment 4

5 Worker Responsibilities Do not work at heights unless trained to do so Know the hazards of working at heights Inspect fall arrest equipment prior to use Wear fall arrest equipment when required Be alert for fall hazards Be aware of chemicals that can damage equipment 5

6 Nature of Fall Hazards The action of falling makes the body susceptible to many different hazards While falling, you do not have control of your body which can cause you to land in dangerous or fatal ways Puncture wounds can occur from falling against objects or tools that might be at the jobsite 6

7 Nature of Fall Hazards The body has no control of how or where it will land Protection from falling objects includes the use of Toeboards Barricades Canopies Hard hats Lines to secure tools and material 7

8 Selection and Use of Fall Arrest System A fall arrest system includes a Full body harness Lanyard Fall brake Tie-off point Used in exposed areas where workers may be subject to a fall All parts of a fall arrest system must be capable of supporting a 5,000 pound load 8

9 Full Body Harness Distributes force of fall across buttocks Less likely to cause internal injuries Properly adjust harness Tight but does not restrict motion 9

10 Full Body Harness A full body harness must show no evidence of Defects Damage Modifications Inspection Monthly or quarterly Visually prior to use If subject to fall, destroy and dispose Worn as described by manufacturer 10

11 Full Body Harness Safety belts Intended as positioning devices Worn underneath ribs, not on the waist Falls result in serious internal injuries to soft organs Know your company s policy regarding the use of safety belts 11

12 Lanyard Connects anchor to harness Restrict fall to 6 feet or less Designed for use in a fall arrest system Must support at least 5,000 pounds 12

13 Lanyard Tying knots to shorten lanyards weakens the lanyard by up to 50%. Modified lanyard made from spare cable or rope is not acceptable Attach lanyard to back of full body harness Attachment hardware must be double locking design 13

14 Fall Brakes Known as deceleration device Controls deceleration during fall Limits the G forces exerted on the person falling Divided into Webbing tear aways Retractable, inertial braking mechanisms 14

15 Tie-off Point Approximately 80% of errors that occur with fall protection equipment are due to a poor choice for the tie-off point. Estimated 80% of all errors that occur with fall protection equipment are due to a poor choice for the tie-off point Must support weight of 5,000 pounds Located above and behind the worker as much as possible Do not tie-off on Process pipe Hand railings Cable trays 15

16 16

17 Handling and Storage Handle properly to not allow deterioration or damage Store equipment in designated area Store indoors away from the elements Hang equipment with D-rings or metal pieces on hooks 17

18 Inspection and Maintenance Inspect prior to use and on a routine basis Remove damaged, modified or defective equipment from service Repair or destroy If subject to fall Remove from service Repair, inspect or destroy Be aware of chemicals that can damage equipment Use only approved cleaning agents 18

19 Rescue Plan Have rescue plan in place Speedy recovery is important Authorized workers should practice rescue plan regularly Rescue equipment should Meet ANSI requirements Be inspected by user before and after use 19

20 Training Documented with a certificate that states Name of the worker trained Date of training Signature of the person that conducted the training 20
