Construction is not a safe work since several accidents occur due to falling from heights. Hence, it is necessary to protect workers from serious accidents. Fall protection and fall prevention is necessary at construction sites. A fall protection system is made to prevent you from hurting yourself.
The construction safety system for workers include an evaluation of the correct methods of access to the heights where the work needs to be done, safety precautions being put in place and followed at all times, and regularly clearing the construction work area of all debris.
The fall protection systems are available in different shapes & sizes. The major equipments are guardrail system, handrail system, safety harness, safety nets, ladder safety system, fall arrest system, hooks, etc. The plans for fall protection should be prepared for elevated work if fall hazards exist. The height safety system should be regularly checked and properly inspected for regular approval, weakening, excessive wear and tear, sharp edges, and cracks or tears. Scaffolds, ladders, guardrails, light fixtures, plumbing, rebar, and roof stacks should never be used as anchorage points. With implementation of fall protection system at construction sites, overall onsite construction safety can be greatly enhanced.
