Fall protection is perennially the most-cited OSHA violation and the second-leading cause of workplace deaths. While it is best to eliminate or passively control fall hazards, there are times when using personal protective equipment becomes the only option. To reduce injuries and fatalities from falls, it is essential that active fall protection systems, such as travel restraint and fall arrest systems, are properly engineered.
Following the direction of the Z359 Fall Protection Code, notably ANSI/ASSP ANSI/ASSP Z359.6, Specifications and Design Requirements for Active Fall Protection Systems, Rupert Noton and Dr. Nigel Ellis wrote Fall Protection Engineering to provide guidance for the design, installation, and use of active fall protection. The authors discuss the components of a fall protection system, equations and mechanics of motion, fall clearances and swing drop, lifelines, and more.
