Agenda

• Fall prevention plan

• Factors involved in falls from height
• Risk assessment of potential falls
• Control measures available
• Use of height safety equipment
• Emergency response at height
• Review and assessment
Objective

At the completion of this course you should be able to:

• Describe the site requirements for work at heights
• Identify factors which may contribute to a fall
• Select and use appropriate means of fall protection
• Initiate emergency response for an incident at height
Causes of Falls

What factors could cause a fall from height ?

Unsafe workplace conditions
• Somewhere to fall from
• No barriers / edge protection,
• Unguarded penetration
• Unsecured or slippery surface
• Poor housekeeping – trip hazards,
Causes of Falls

What factors could cause a fall from height ?

Environmental Conditions
• Heat Stress & Dehydration
• Strong winds
• Wet / Dusty / Slippery Surfaces
Causes of Falls

What factors could cause a fall from height ?

Personal Factors
• Fitness for Work, Health, Alcohol, Drugs
• Poor communication
• Poor Work practices
• Confidence / Complacency
Site Requirements

Job Safety Analysis

• All persons assigned work in elevated areas or in areas where there is a possibility of falls shall attend
and participate in JSA & Pre Start development.
• Supervisors shall analyze all tasks for fall potential and implement adequate fall prevention/protection
systems prior to work commencing.
• Supervisors shall actively question employees knowledge of the system being utilised, it’s proper
methods for use and emergency procedures associated with the task.
Fall Prevention Plan

Fall Prevention Systems

• All team members shall utilize Primary fall prevention systems as priority for performing work in
elevated unguarded areas.
• Secondary fall protection systems should only be utilized after all efforts to employ primary fall
prevention systems have been exhausted, or when being used in concert with PRIMARY systems.
Site Requirements

Inspection of Fall Injury Prevention Systems

• Each component of the system and its means of attachment to an anchorage shall be inspected and
tagged by a designated competent person –
• After it is installed
• At monthly intervals; and
• Immediately after it has operated or should have operated in relation to a person’s free fall at the workplace
• The identification of hazards of falling from one level to another should not only include whilst
completing a task, but should include accessing and egressing the working position.
Controls

• Identify the hazard

• Don’t have tunnel vision, look at all things that could affect you as well as the task.
• Assess the risk
• Ask yourself what if.
• Control the hazard
• What could happen if I was to carry on with the task without putting in the control measures.
• Review / update
• Once the task is complete, revisit the overall task and identify any problems that may have been overlooked
during the planning of the task.
Identify the Hazard

• A person can fall if their center of gravity is affected. Factors which may cause this include:
• Sudden acceleration or deceleration.
• Moving from one surface to another.
• The surface cannot support the load.
Identify the Hazard

• Open edges not identified or protected.

• The surface is round or slippery.
• Strong wind or rain affects the area.
• Falling or moving objects may strike a person.
• Is the person capable of carrying out the task.
Assess the Risk

• How far can they fall?

• What injuries would result?
• How often are they exposed to the hazard?
• What would cause them to fall?
Hierarchy of Control

• Has this little guy Evaluated or Eliminated the risk or has he got tunnel vision?
Don’t become complacent, Look at the Overall Job
Hierarchy of Control

• Elimination Most
• is the task really necessary ? Effective
• Substitution
• can we do the job another way ? Fall Restraint
• Engineering Controls
• provide edge protection / barricades / housekeeping height access equipment
• Administrative Controls
• limit personnel numbers exposed
• schedule task for another time – ie: better weather
• training & procedures
Least
• Personal Protective Equipment Effective
• Individual Fall Arrest Systems
Hierarchy of Control

Do you think these two evaluated all the risks before they started
or have they got, tunnel vision?

Don’t become complacent, “look at the overall job” don’t be one

of the statistics who always stated ‘don’t tell me what to do I’ve
been doing this job for X amount of years and I’m still here!
Prevention of Falls

Good Housekeeping = Good Safety

For Every Task:
• Pre Start,
• JSA /RA
• Make your area safe
• Note any hazards
Harness & Lanyard

Fall Arrest System =

• Anchorage Point
• Lanyard
• Harness
• Connections between each component
Inspection Points:
• Serial Number Legible
• Webbing clean & smooth
• Stitching intact
• Hardware not distorted / damaged
Fall prevention depends upon the continued efficiency and durability of fall arrest systems and devices. It
is essential they are maintained correctly with inspections and examination of all components at regular
intervals by a competent person.
There are two types of inspection of fall arrest systems
Inspection & Maintenance

Certified Formal Inspection

• This type of inspection must be conducted by a competent person every 3 months.
• All equipment requiring inspection shall be recorded on a rigging register.
Routine Visual Inspection
• This type of inspection must be conducted by the operator BEFORE and AFTER each use.
• The operator must ensure the device is in good working order before use. Areas of concern when
inspecting basic fall arrest equipment would be?
All fall arrest equipment that has been used to arrest a free fall MUST BE REMOVED from service, tagged
out and inspected by a competent person.
The device should be destroyed if unrepairable, or not be returned to service until it has been repaired by
an authorised service centre.
Fall Restraint

Industrial Fall Arrest Systems & Devices Selection Maintenance

& Use

Total Restraint

A control on a person’s movement by means of a combination of

a belt or harness, a line and a line anchorage which will
physically prevent the person from reaching a position at which
there is a risk of a free or limited free fall.
Types of Falls

Restrained Fall
A fall or the arrest of a fall where the person suffering the fall is
partially restrained by a restraining device such as a pole strap,
or is sliding down a slope on which it is normally possible to walk
without the assistance of a hand rail or hand line.

Free Fall
A fall or the arrest of a fall where the fall distance before the fall-
arrest system begins to take any loading, and is in excess of
600mm either vertically or on a slope on which it is not possible
to walk without the assistance of a handrail or hand line.
Features of a Harness

There are Four Main Features on how a Fall Arrest Harness works:
• Directs the load to the legs
• Keeps the body upright
• Prevents neck damage
• Slightly opens the breathing way
Correctly Fitting a Fall Arrest Harness

• Squat slightly, two inches or 50mm below groin, one palm inside.

• Can I reach the rear ‘D’ ring? Rear ‘D’ ring should be placed between
the shoulder blades at the base of the neck.

• Two palms inside for waist belt, tuck away all the loose ends.
Anchors

• If possible look for an anchor that will prevent a person from falling. Where there is the potential for a
free fall, an anchor must comply with the three following factors;
• Min b/s of 15kN (approx. 1500kg)
• Attach to anchor point as high possible above the rear ‘D’ ring if possible.
• The maximum fall distance a fall arrest harness is ‘rated’ at is 2.00 metres. How far can I fall without
coming into contact with anything.
• Anchor points are to be centrally located as possible, no more than 15 degree from centre.
• Think about what you could swing into and hit.
Anchor Point - 2 Metre Rule
Attachment Devices

Hooks and ‘D’ Rings

• All attachment devices (ie. Hooks etc.) must be of the Double Action type.
• A double action hook is safe, provided that it is compatible with the ‘D’ ring or anchor point.
Attachment Devices

Karabiners
• Karabiners must be of the double action type.
• Karabiners that fall into the above category would include screw gate karabiners and twistlock (or auto
lock) karabiners.
• Clipgate karabiners, such as used by rock climbers, should not be used. When using a karabiner you
must make sure,
• The gate is screwed closed
• The screw is pointing downwards
Roll Out & Crush Out Principles

• Crush out is caused through side loading of the safety hook, this can also be seen on crane hooks.
Think about where your going to hook up
• Is there a possibility for side loading
Roll Out & Crush Out Principles

• The “D” ring must be larger in diameter than the distance between the hook pin and the inside of the
hook end to prevent roll out.
Fall Arrestors

• Where there is a potential for a free fall, the lanyard must incorporate an energy absorber.
• Fall arresters must only be used in a fall arrest situation.
• Fall Arresters must be used vertically (Not Horizontally) and must not be locked open or leant on.
• Lanyards without an energy absorber must only
be used in a restrained fall situation.
Inertia Reels / Yoyo / SALA Block

Frequency of Inspections/Service Visual before use:

• Check anchorage connection
• Inspect outside casing
• Check lifeline retraction
• Check braking mechanism
• Inspect snap hook load indicator
• Inspect snap hook

Frequency of Inspection / Service - 12 Monthly:

Internal inspection by a competent person Supplier or manufacturer (Wire
rope type only)
Inertia Reels

Use:
• Select appropriate anchorage point
• Use correct length reel
• Hook directly onto dorsal “D”
• Check for obstructions below
Use of Static Lines

Use
• Access onto static lines shall be via existing walkways, platforms or purpose built scaffold.
• Under no circumstances shall personnel be permitted to access steelwork and static lines from
Elevating Work Platforms

Inspection
• Weekly – Authorised Scaffolder
• Prior to use by the user
Use of Static Lines

• Number of person on a wire rope depends on the PE Design

• Inspect and fit harness
• Use approved access only
• Attach carabiner
• Keep your body profile as

Walking on steel is not permitted

Ladders & Steps

• Ladders are to be used as a means of access to and egress from a work area and
generally are not used to perform tasks from.
Ladders & Steps

• If a ladder is the only practical means of performing the task a risk assessment shall be submitted by
the team member to EHS Dept. for approval prior to commencing work.

• The type of tasks capable of being performed safely from a ladder are limited and at times a second
system of control, (such as using fall restraint attached to a suitable anchor point), must be used if
there is any potential for overbalancing leading to a fall.
Ladders & Steps

• Portable ladders should be positioned on a substantial base and wooden blocks, bricks or off cuts
must not be used to level the feet
of any ladder. Safety feet shall be fitted.

• A pitch ratio of 4 to 1 is required and positioned in

such a manner as to have clear access top and
bottom with the top of the ladder extending
1 metre above the egress landing.

• Secured properly before use.

Ladders & Steps

• All ladders extending more than 1 metre above a landing shall be braced or
secured above the landing.

• All access ladders shall have an approved safety guard rail that extends the full
length of the ladder.
Ladders & Steps

Use of Ladders
• Shall have a current inspection tag.
• User must maintain 3 points of contact at all times.
• A person on the ladder must remain within the vertical
supports of the ladder.
• Items shall not be carried by hand when going up or down a ladder.
• The top 3 rungs of a ladder shall not be used to stand on.
• Personnel shall always face the ladder whilst ascending and descending.
Ladders & Steps

• The motto “The right tool for the right job” is only too true concerning the use
of platform steps.
• Only an approved safety step should be used to gain the required height.
• Items such as chairs, filing cabinets, tool boxes, milk crates and old disused
drums should not be used as steps, as they often create accidents rather than
prevent them.
Emergency Procedures

• Operators using fall arrest equipment must not work alone.

• An operator suspended in a fall arrest harness should be rescued as soon as possible.
• Therefore workers and supervisor must be capable of responding to worker suspended in fall arrest
harness, or must be aware of the rescue procedures on site.
• Emergency rescue procedures must be identified in the task planning eg: JSA’s.
• All personnel should be aware that suspension in an upright condition for longer than
5 - 10 minutes can be fatal.
• This is due to a condition called “Suspension Trauma”
• Caused by gravity which results in the pooling of blood in the lower legs whilst immobile in an upright
position, and the pressure of the harness straps exerting pressure on leg veins.
• Rescue plans for all risks of fall must ensure rescue can occur within 5-10 mins to prevent this
condition.
