What is the best fall prevention system?
Falls account for a significant portion of fatalities in the workplace. Eliminating the need to work at elevated heights by moving equipment to a lower location or controlling access to these hazards can reduce the number of falls.
Medical Alert NZ Occupational safety professionals recommend eliminating or reducing the potential for falls by using the most preferred solutions, which include:
Hazard elimination (eliminating the hazard) and passive fall protection (preventing falls in the first place). For example, guardrails can be used on platforms and steps to prevent falls.
Passive fall protection is also effective at preventing slipping, which is a major cause of injury. Non-slip coatings are often incorporated into flat horizontal stair treads and other walk surfaces to provide traction for users.
Other solutions to prevent slipping are a variety of gripping products, such as handrails, grab bars and stair risers. Sensible shoes with nonskid soles can help reduce the risk of slipping and falling while walking.
A fall-protection program should not only focus on eliminating fall hazards, but also include ongoing monitoring of these hazards. Regular inspections of existing fall hazard controls are essential to ensure that they are performing as intended and that employees have been trained in their use.
The most preferred approach to fall protection is utilizing passive fall protection and restraint systems that restrict worker movement, which reduce the likelihood of falling. These systems should be implemented by a qualified person who has been trained in fall safety and rescue techniques. They should be used in conjunction with other fall safety systems, such as fall arrest and lifeline systems, to provide complete fall protection.
