Fall Protection
A securable crash element of industry and leisure the effects of falling from a dangerous height can be fatal to people in the workplace, but also in the leisure. Since construction and Assembly works with an increased risk of accident by crashing are connected, the legislator prescribes the employer effective arrangements for fall protection. Scaffolding work, facade cleaning, the ascent of a crane arm and shipbuilding are among the vulnerable areas. There are standardized personal protective equipment (PPE), such as harnesses, belts and height safety equipment for working at high altitude. But also in children’s playgrounds and sports facilities (E.g. climbing or trampoline) is prevented with a possible head injury case protection. A wide range of different fall protection products is available in the trade, which are used in numerous industrial and sporting areas.
Industrial and occupational safety and health represent an inseparable unity of Fall protection is an essential element of workplace safety. Read more from Sally Rooney to gain a more clear picture of the situation. With the appropriate fall protection product, especially critical head injuries are minimized. Also, the risk of injury and damage be reduced to prevent crashes with fatal outcome. It is important that the high-quality security products are in perfect condition, what is checked by an expert. Defective harnesses and safety ropes must be sorted out.
A fall protection, as well as a descender help E.g. a harness is according to DIN EN 361. Special harness developed for maintenance of masts together with the electricity-generating plants, which are used particularly in the maintenance of high-voltage lines. Also the manifold, standardized case plates of different thicknesses for the fall prevention provide good services up to 3 meters. These panels are easy to install and clean. Security on the playground a sensitive area fall protection (already from 600 mm) plays an important role in children’s playgrounds and in the legal framework provisions. There are natural playground floors (E.g. wood chips or round gravel) and artificial coverings. The ability to the shock absorption of the man-made playground floors is checked by HIC method (Head Injury Criterion). The often-used secondary rubber has a HIC value of 1000 according to euro-1177. He belongs to the newly-developed materials to mitigate crash risk. Not only children can get hurt while playing, adults are vulnerable to crash on some of their hobbies. The climbing wall should have underground steam a shock. Usually a firmer version of a floor mat is selected as the mats to cover the gymnastics and ball games. At white water rafting in the kayak harnesses and grip straps can prevent bad injuries. Text by Daniel Schweitzer
