Hi All,

There is huge info to about fall protection at work even it is related to at home. Fall hazards can be different forms in a workplace. People cane from from higher to lower positions and they can fall from the same levels.

It is great to be in this group to exchange experience and ideas

Cheers

The campaign to stop falls in construction is well underway! In 2010, more than 10,000 construction workers were injured as a result of falling while working from heights. 

There are 3 simple steps to save lives featured on OSHA's website: www.osha.gov/stopfalls

 

ASSE supports our Arizona members as they push ADOSH to enforce residential fall protection for people working at heights 6 feet and above, as opposed to 15 feet.

We are manufacturing Square blocks with 12 Ft (3 Mtr.) Height. the top surface of the block is having sharp edges as it is composed of no. of sharp edged plates. above the block there is continuous movement of crane and therefore it is not possible to take fox supprot from the top of roof. and as per procedure it is compulsory to climb above the block.

 

Anyone can suggest the solution for the same?

How to use safety belt? 

From where it will be supported?

Design for tie up the life line?

any-how the employee should not fall down from the top even on the top surface of the job.

This free Safety Audit app for iPad can be utilised in all industries to help people work safer. 
Fall protection is an excellent example of this, check your surroundings, conduct a risk assessment, and work safer!

As a newbie to the site you might find our new product development of interest - a new tagging and inspection system for equipment used at heights - including harnesses, ladders, scaffold towers, MEWPs and scaffolding. Visit our website for info (click here), I'd be interested in hearing your thughts.

The disturbing news from Pennsauken, NJ where the worker fell into the chocolate vat and died shows the need for fall protection. I have seen many incidents where employers use the passive approach and then nothing is followed thru, in otherwords lets do nothing. It is sad this continues to be an issue in the work place. When will the people who operate these worksites finally understand fall protection should be proactive and not reactive.

We have been fabricating portable fall protection that protects workers in these environments, and all too oftend hear words such as we never had an incident thus justifying not addressing these issues. At which point are these individuals to be held accountable. I have over 30 years experience in the construction and industrial sectors as well as Safety.
To me it is utter nonsense when this type of accident occurs. Use the equipment and your employees go home at the end of the day, I'm syre their families would apprieciate that.
