<h3>Types of falls:</h3>
|
||||
<h4>Falls from same level: </h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Slips</li>
|
||||
<li>Trips</li>
|
||||
<li>High frequency rate</li>
|
||||
<li>Low injury severity rate</li>
|
||||
<li>Falls from an elevation</li>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Relatively low frequency rate</li>
|
||||
<li>High injury severity rate</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Common fall protection systems:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Guardrail systems and toe boards</li>
|
||||
<li>Handrail and stair rail systems</li>
|
||||
<li>Designated areas</li>
|
||||
<li>Hole covers</li>
|
||||
<li>Safety net systems</li>
|
||||
<li>Ladder cages</li>
|
||||
<li>Ramps and bridging devices</li>
|
||||
<li>Slip-resistant floors</li>
|
||||
<li>Effective housekeeping</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>What happens during a fall?</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Person loses his/her balance</li>
|
||||
<li>Body unintentionally moves from an upright position to a prone, or semi-prone position</li>
|
||||
<li>Free-fall velocity at impact when falling 12 feet is nearly 20 M.P.H.</li>
|
||||
<li>Person hits the ground in less than one second from this distance</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Why falls are dangerous:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Falls are dangerous because of three primary elements:</li>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>The free-fall distance the worker falls</li>
|
||||
<li>The shock absorption at impact</li>
|
||||
<li>The body weight of the worker</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Free-fall distance:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>The uncontrolled length of travel before a worker hits the floor, ground, or before fall arrest equipment activates</li>
|
||||
<li>Measured from the foot level before the fall, to the foot level after the fall</li>
|
||||
<li>Free-fall distance should be limited to a few feet so as to prevent injury from:</li>
|
||||
<li>collisions with grade level</li>
|
||||
<li>collisions with obstructions near the work site</li>
|
||||
<li>pendulum-like swings that result in collision with objects</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Shock absorption at impact:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Varies according to the types of fall protection equipment used</li>
|
||||
<li>Shock-absorbing lanyards reduce the probability of injury</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Body weight of the worker:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Falls have more severe impact on heavy workers</li>
|
||||
<li>“The bigger they are, the harder they fall.”</li>
|
||||
<li>Heavy workers may have larger waistlines, preventing fall arrest equipment from fitting properly.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Fall Arrest Systems:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Used when working at a height of 4 feet or greater</li>
|
||||
<li>Used when engineering controls are not feasible or sufficient to eliminate the risk of a fall</li>
|
||||
<li>Fall arrest systems should match the work situation</li>
|
||||
<li>Fall arrest systems should:</li>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>prevent a worker from falling more than 6 feet</li>
|
||||
<li>prevent a worker from contacting any lower level during arrest of a fall</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Fall arrest systems should: </h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>limit the maximum arresting force on an employee to 1800 pounds when a worker uses a body harness</li>
|
||||
<li>bring a worker to a complete stop</li>
|
||||
<li>limit the deceleration distance a worker travels to 3 1/2 feet</li>
|
||||
<li>have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential energy impact of a worker </li>
|
||||
falling a distance of 6 feet - or- have sufficient strength to withstand the free-fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Personal fall protection: </h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Personal fall arrest systems</li>
|
||||
<li>Positioning device system</li>
|
||||
<li>Personal fall protection system for climbing activities</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Training: </h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Equipment inspection</li>
|
||||
<li>Application limits</li>
|
||||
<li>Methods of use</li>
|
||||
<li>Donning, doffing, adjusting equipment</li>
|
||||
<li>Anchoring and tie-off techniques</li>
|
||||
<li>Emergency rescue plans and implementation</li>
|
||||
<li>Maintenance procedures</li>
|
||||
<li>Storage techniques</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Reporting fall hazards:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Employees will not experience repercussions from reporting hazards</li>
|
||||
<li>Employees should report unsafe equipment, conditions, procedures</li>
|
||||
<li>Reporting fall hazards</li>
|
||||
<li>Equipment repair receives top priority</li>
|
||||
<li>Under no circumstances will defective equipment be used</li>
|
||||
<li>When fall conditions exist:</li>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Take short steps</li>
|
||||
<li>Keep toes pointed out</li>
|
||||
<li>Walk on the whole foot when crossing rough or slippery surfaces</li>
|
||||
<li>Avoid making sharp turns</li>
|
||||
<li>If you fall, protect your head and neck</li>
|
||||
<li>Disciplinary actions for failure to use equipment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Housekeeping:</h4>
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
|
||||
<li>Effective housekeeping prevents falls
|
||||
<li>Keep high work areas free from:
|
||||
<ul class='list'>
