Fall protection

Introduction

Falls from height are the single biggest cause of death and serious injuries in

today’s workplace. Fall protection is a major issue for all kinds of business

whose workers need to operate effectively at height. That’s why North’s fall

protection products are designed with the user in mind. Our goal is to provide

high quality easy-to-use fall protection products so that your employees are

encouraged to use them.

Our range covers the complete scope of fall protection. North is also

dedicated to increasing compliance and worker safety through quality

enhancement, manufacturing innovation and the overall promotion of safety

in the workplace.

Hazard identification

Before selecting a fall protection system an assessment of the workplace

hazards and conditions should be made. This is done via a risk analysis. This

will help to determine the selected options to guard against any secondary

hazards which may be present in the work place.

Official advice summary

• Avoid work at height when possible

• When working at height cannot be avoided eliminate the risk and ensure

that workers are not exposed unnecessarily

• Try to make the work place as safe as possible with warning signs, fences

and safety areas etc.

• Where it is not possible to eliminate the risks of falling use a fall

protection system

When do you need fall protection

• Working height above 2 metres (differs from various countries)

there is a risk of falling

• Risk of falling results from risk analysis (responsibility of the

employer)

Fall Arrest system

A fall arrest system contains three parts. The anchorage point, a connecting

device (lanyard or SRL with energy absorber) and a full body harness. The goal

with a fall protection system is:

• Not to prevent falling; this is part of safe working procedure

• Arrest a fall

• Reduce the effect (impact) of a fall to a minimum

Minimum = 6 kN = 600 kg.

can only be achieved by shock absorption

Fall arrest related to the position of the anchorage point

A higher anchorage point, above the head, will reduce the fall distance and

therefore reduce the risk of injuries due to the impact forces of the fall.

1. Anchorage point minimal shoulder level

The worker will fall a maximum of 3.75m

2. Anchorage point above the head

the worker will fall a maximum of 1.75m

Work positioning and work restraint

A fall protection system is often used together with work positioning or work

restraint products. If a lifeline is not anchored vertically over the working place,

the worker will have a

danger of swinging. This

can injure the worker by

either hitting the ground

or an obstacle besides

him. Work position

equipment help eliminate

this danger. Work re-

straint product makes

sure that a worker can-

not get in to a dangerous

position. His equipment

is restraining his free-

dom of movement.

Rescue

What is often forgotten when working at height is to plan for an accident.

That is why a rescue and evacuation plan is mandatory to take into

consideration. Within 15 minutes a rescue action should be completed to

avoid possible dangers. North Safety Products offers unique rescue products

for various applications.

Training

Make sure that the user of fall protection product received sufficient training

for their work task. Training has a “best before date” and should be

continuously updated.

Categories of Fall protection

1. Fall Arrest System

Is required working at height where fall hazards exist. The fall arrest system

reacts by absorbing the energy in a controlled manner.

For this system you need:

• Anchorage point / attachment

• Connecting device with energy absorber

• Full body harness (only use dorsal D-ring)

2. Work positioning system

Is required to hold a worker in place while his hands are free to work. It is not

a replacement for a fall protection system!


• Anchorage point/ attachment

• Connection device and optional fall arrest system

• Full body harness (use hip D-ring)

3. Confined space systems

Required when workers must enter confided space such as acces holes,

tanks etc. to get safe access and can be rescued when needed


• Anchorage point Tripod or Davit system

• Connection device retractable lifeline

• Full body harness (only use D-ring on back side and for lowering

use chest D-rings)

4. Rescue systems

Required where fall arrest systems are used, an appropriate plan must exist

in order to rescue a worker in case of a fall.


• Anchorage point / attachment

• Evacuation unit, fall arrest device, self retracting life line with

rescue winch

• Full body harness (use chest D-ring)

Portable anchorage systems

Davit system

Fully telescopic aluminium legs are made of square tubing for added lightness

and required strength. The cast alloy head has an integrated pulley wheel

allowing a cable from a device to pass through the center of the head. This

eliminates costly pulleys and allows one of the 2 eyebolts in the head to be

used as a tie-off point for the topside worker. The retractable devices are

located on the outside of the working area which allows a narrower profile and

fit the tripod into tighter spaces.

Standards EN795: 1997, class B.

FP6600 tripod

Components are made of strong aluminium alloy (except for the bases). They

Duralite

Until now fall arrest blocks were either relatively heavy and serviceable, or

light weight and disposable. The North’s Duralite range combines the best

of both. A composite housing and Dyneema web lanyard result in a low

weight. The high tensile, non-corrosive metal parts result in a fully service-

able unit with a long lifetime. North’s Duralite range has a built-in energy

absorber. The dyneema webbing is cut resistant. The Duralite range can be

used for various applications like ladder climbing, industrial maintenance,

warehousing, etc.
