FALL PROTECTION PREPARATION : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Have a safety harness and lanyard available to show correct fitting & methods and attachment.

Fall protection is required for persons working at height when a fixed platform or scaffolding cannot be provided. In these circumstances, a safety harness must be used where persons can fall more than 2 meters (8 feet). The safety harness with a lanyard must be of an approved type supplied by the manufacturer. Lanyards may not be more than 1 meters (5 feet) in length. Safety harness and lanyard must be in good condition and inspected before use. The lanyard must be anchored to a suitable fixed point and to the harness. Where free movement is required, a running line is recommended (e.g. when working on top of tanks) to avoid the need to frequently unclip the harness. Fall protection is also required when working from a manlift, crane basket, or over open water or crude oil lagoons.
