Building safety equipment, or fall protection, is essential to ensure operatives remain safe when carrying out their work at height, preventing them from falling. Fall arrest equipment typically includes full body harnesses, horizontal lifelines and anchor points. The equipment is used to protect workers from serious injury or death in the event of a fall. Fall restraint systems stop workers from reaching the edge of a work area, so that no fall can occur. Systems include edge protection, guard rails and demarcation.
Architects, specifiers and contractors must include fall protection equipment as part of a new building to ensure it is legally compliant with regulations. Similarly, older structures, which may have undergone extensions, must be made legally compliant through retrofit fall protection.
