Why Fall Protection?

The Australian Safety and Compensation Council have published in their ‘Statistical Report Notified Fatalities’ that falls from height are the biggest single killer of workers. In addition to permanent injuries and lost lives caused by falls, businesses lose millions of dollars each year from significant increases in insurance premiums, workers’ compensation claims, product liability costs, and other related expenses.

Protecting workers at height requires a holistic approach that extends beyond standards and regulations. Meeting new standards for safety requirements and product performance provides a starting point for safety on the job site.

Fall Arrest

  • Connecting device such as energy absorbing lanyard or fall arrestor.
  

Restraint

Work Positioning
