A fall arrest system is designed to protect individuals working at height by stopping a fall once it has occurred. It consists of a series of connected components that secure the user to a fixed anchor point or structural part of the workplace.
In the event of a fall, the system activates to arrest the user's movement, applying a controlled force to slow and stop the fall within a short distance. This helps to minimise injury by reducing the impact force on the body.
Working in fall arrest means operating in areas where there is a risk of falling from height. These systems are used when there is no way to eliminate or guard the fall hazard. The assumption is that the user is fully trained and is using the appropriate fall arrest equipment correctly.
Key points:
A fall arrest system stops a person who is falling from height.
It connects the user to a safe anchor point through specialised components.
The system reduces the fall's impact force and distance.
It is used when working at or near fall hazards where a fall cannot be prevented.
Correct training and proper use of the equipment are essential for safety.
