Fall from height

In addition to the primary steps in the AH-strategy, PPE usually remains required. Relevant products that we can provide, are: 

• Positioning: the employee is attached to a fixed point by use of a harness with rigid line. This prevents the employee from reaching the edge where the falling hazard is present. This effective, preventive measure, can be applied to roofs, scissor platforms or man baskets on a fork lift, in the crane or on a telescopic handler. By restricting your work area, you prevent getting close to the risk of falling.

• Fall protection: the employee is attached to a sufficiently strong anchor point by use of a harness with rigid line and fall arrest. If the employee should fall, the arrest will ensure a reduced effect on the fall.
   

• Rope Acces: climbing harnesses, developed especially to climb, sit or hang in. By means of multiple ropes, attached to different anchor points, the employee will hoist himself to the right position. This application is used, for instance, for the maintenance of trees, but also during inspection- or cleaning activities at substantial height or depth. Persons working with the Rope Access must be physically fit and sufficiently trained.
   
• Lanyards (Protection for tools): by attaching tools and materials to an object or personal harness, you can prevent your tools from falling, as a result of which they would impose a risk to the employees working at a lower level.
