What do we mean by “fall from height”?

Fall from height differs from ground-level fall by the presence of drop. Thus, work on flat roof or pitched roof, on pylon,..., no matter if they are temporary or regular, carries fall from height risks.

Unfortunately, falls from a height are still one of the main causes of accidents in the workplace, the construction trade being the most affected.

Any employer is responsible for his employees and has to evaluate and search for the existence of fall from height risk. This prevention approach carries several steps:

• Delete risk

The employer has to delete any risk that can be for a workstation in adopting a proactive approach

• Evaluate risks that can't be avoid

Any risk of falling, sliding or hurting and its dangerousness has to be identify by the employer

• Fighting risks from the source

The closer from the risk source the security device is installed, the most the risk is reduced

• Consider the technique evolution

The employer is responsible for the conformity of his employees’ fall arrest solutions

• Prioritize the collective protection solutions

Guardrails, crinoline ladders, footbridges, …

• Give operators, instructions, formations and appropriate equipment

Employees formation concerning safety, using equipment instructions and concerning the installation of security at height solution are primordial to insure safety for all.
