Balustrades, hand rails, guard rail systems, safety anchors and other height safety equipment must be present in every work site that is higher than six feet. Being in such working condition is could be really hazardous for the workers. There are just some jobs that are more dangerous than the others such as in construction, building maintenance and the like. These jobs require people to be 6 feet above the ground to even 60 feet and more. Being in high rise areas is not easy. No matter how accustomed a person is with his job or how careful he is, the risks of falling are still there. It is through the presence of these height safety tools that the security of the workers can have a guarantee.
Having workers fall down from the structures that they are helping make or maintain can be a real tragedy to their loved ones and also to their employers. It would mean major injuries, loss of income to him and his loved ones as he may have to stop doing his job, but the worst would be death. Death could possibly be the result of any bad fall. A person falling off to the ground from the roof or the site being maintained and constructed can provide hassles to the company that he is working for as well because it is the company that has to answer to every consequence that the fall could arise due to the fall. Also, it would provide bad rep to the company too. Having fall prevention systems installed in the working areas the best step that a frim can come up with in order to avoid dangers from happening to their workers. Safety of the workers has higher guarantee with the installation of falls prevention tools and equipment around the area. The falls prevention systems can be grabbed or held by the workers as they perform their risky tasks. It may also be attached to their bodies, depending on the kind of the equipment.
Aside from the fall protection equipment, fall arrest anchors must be present at the work site at all times too. The function of fall arrest is to stop the falls in case that they happen. A lanyard connected to the anchor is being attached to the harness worn by the worker so that when he slips and loses balance, and when he starts to fall, he can still be kept safe. He will still experience the fall, but only to a certain point. The equipment will keep him hanging for a short moment and then he can be pulled to the safe ground afterwards. There would still be a slight shock for him because of the fall, but no major injuries and dangers to life have to be accumulated. There would be total control and better assurance that workers are safe even though they have to be at high rise areas when they perform their job. Having a company provide their workers with such safety equipment is a sign that they are concerned about their welfare too.
