Fall Protection

 

A worker who are exposed to the hazard of falling more than 2.4 meters (8 feet) or of falling into a hazardous area must wear a safety harness tided off to either a fixed support or to a lifeline securely fastened to the structure. Every worker should familiarize themselves with the requirements for a fall-arresting system i.e. full body harness, lanyards, lifelines etc.

 

All full body harnesses and lanyards must be CSA-Z259.10-06 and CSA-Z259.11 certified and free from defects (as per the respective legislation).

 

All workers are to visually inspect their safety equipment each time they are worn and document the initial inspection accordingly per the safe work procedure.
