according to the standard of work (such as:
scaffolding platform)
Anchor Point

Hand Rail
Controlling Level for Working At Height

Conts……

2. Fall Protection:
Fall restraint system / restraint systems when
fall (eg. harness retaining
falls are equipped with straps
fall arrest tethered /
attached to the anchor point
appropriate).
Controlling Level for Working At Height

Basic causes of Fall:

a) loss of balance

b) Sudden Moves

c) work floor is damaged /

broken / slippery
Conditions that require fall protection:

- Workers should know and understand

about workplace conditions (danger of
falling) and its requirements.

- Conditions that require the wearing of

safety harness and lanyard / life line
such as:
At each stage of work,
where altitudes and
scaffolding, floats / place is
lifted

On the roof of a building or

on a sloping
On each side of the floor and the
roof height of 6 feet (1.8 meters) or
more, and there are no safety
fences or barbed wire.

At any supporting structure or

scaffold that underneath there and
sharp objects without a protector, it
does not matter about height.
Conditions Requiring Fall Protection

When someone moves on the floor

board, manhole covers, floor
grating / grating, etc.. of the last
board on the floor

Preparing Control of Working at Height

In general, the control system can be divided into two types:

1. Protection System Active / Fall Prevention Control
2. Protection System Passive/ Fall Protection Control

Note: All work equipment must be approved altitude recorded in the

Schedule of Registration Working at Height and controlled by each
department
Protection and Fall Prevention

1. Passive Protection System, Fall Prevention is

the equipment that is not used directly (Example:
Security Fence, Toe board / Side Safety, Safety
Net /Safety Net, etc.)

2. Active Protection System; some of the

equipment used directly when workers
perform their activities (Example: Safety
Harness, Belt, retracting lifeline, etc..)
Protection and Fall Prevention

Minimum Requirements for Safety Harness

1. Where necessary for the safety harness worn,
they must be hooked to the lanyard anchor
point /anchorage points each time
2. When using fall protection equipment / fall
arrest
3. No one is allowed to work alone at height
Protection and Fall Prevention

Body Harness Inspection

Safety harness inspection conducted by

competent personnel should include:
1.Webbing (example: examination of the
damage, friction, cuts, burns, exposure to
heat /chemical, overloaded, stitching),
2.D rings (eg. examination of any damage
or wear, and examination of vertical
movement
Protection and Fall Prevention

Body Harness Inspection

3. Buckles and adjusters (example: checking

for damage /cracking, burnt)

4. Examination Automatic Locking Hooks;

triggers are in good condition and working
properly, the damage /cracks etc.
Protection and Fall Prevention

1. Binding of Fall Protection Equipment

.
It is most critical for active fall prevention devices
is the tied off. Tied off must be
apart from the construction of the structure.

Supervisors and workers should consider

conditions that exist alongside and below, for
ensure that the fall was not hit or
swing and the objects around
Protection and Fall Prevention
2. When you tied off to point with a lanyard as follows:
a. If using the automatic locking, revolving must
placed in the locked position.
b. Latch or even double-acting gate latch snap hooks or
karabiners must be locked and in the correct position.
Protection and Fall Prevention
3. Use of Anchor Point
Anchor point should be established and a permanent structure
(not on the hand grip) and are made of materials that
appropriate
4. Using Static Lines / Ropes Static
All static line must meet the AS 1891 Part2 Static Lines.
As a minimum requirement, they must:
a. In accordance with the general conditions of the work environment (for
example, steel, galvanized, etc..)
b. Only installed by an authorized and competent person
c. Inspected at regular intervals (maximum 6-month intervals) and just before
work.
d. Immediately reported if found damaged.
