THE ABC OF FALL PROTECTION
RISK ANALYSISEmployers must:• Ensure that the workplace area
and its access are safe• Analyse and predict possible risks
of falling while determining: – The falling distance – The proper fall protectionsystem to be used
– The necessary means andmethods of rescuing a worker(in case of a fall).
THE DEFINITION OF THE SOLUTION
HEIGHT SAFETY GUIDEfor construction applications
Choose the proper equipment for the work application
• The proper height safety products must be chosen in reference to the work environment, work application and use as described in the products’ instruction manuals.
• Training on the different height safety products and systems is necessary.
FALL CLEARANCEThe fall clearance must be verified before starting to work and buying height safety equipment. It is specific to the available distance of the work area.
Calculating the necessary fall clearance:
Free fall distance+ Deployment of energy absorber+ Displacement of back D-ring+ Height of worker+ Safety factor/distance= Minimum fall clearance required
The pendulum effect:It is a regular phenomenon caused by the fall of the worker with an angle distanced from the vertical of the anchor point. Depending on the available space, this effect must be taken into consideration in the complete fall protection solution and the limitation of the work area. All this space below the work area should be free of any obstacle that may cause harm or injury to the worker.

THE RISKS OF FALLINGFalling from heights is still the main cause of major injury and death in the workplace with a fall happening every 5 minutes.
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS• CSA “Canadian Standards Association”• Provincial regulations• ANSI “American National Standards Institute”• OSHA “Occupational Health & Safety Administration”
OBLIGATIONSEmployers must:• Conduct a work site risk analysis• Supply the proper height safety equipment
for the specific application to meet all therequired standards and regulations
• Train employees on the use and care oftheir height safety equipment

HEIGHT SAFETY GUIDE
the Tractel®’s approachthe principles of height safety
ANCHOR POINT

CONNECTING LINK
THE ABC OF FALL PROTECTION
RISK ANALYSISEmployers must:• Ensure that the workplace area
and its access are safe• Analyse and predict possible risks
of falling while determining: – The falling distance – The proper fall protection system to be used
– The necessary means and methods of rescuing a worker (in case of a fall).
THE DEFINITION OF THE SOLUTION
HEIGHT SAFETY GUIDEfor construction applications
Choose the proper equipment for the work application
• The proper height safety products must be chosen in reference to the work environment, work application and use as described in the products’ instruction manuals.
• Training on the different height safety products and systems is necessary.
FALL CLEARANCEThe fall clearance must be verified before starting to work and buying height safety equipment. It is specific to the available distance of the work area.
Calculating the necessary fall clearance: Free fall distance+ Deployment of energy absorber+ Displacement of back D-ring+ Height of worker+ Safety factor/distance= Minimum fall clearance required
The pendulum effect:It is a regular phenomenon caused by the fall of the worker with an angle distanced from the vertical of the anchor point. Depending on the available space, this effect must be taken into consideration in the complete fall protection solution and the limitation of the work area. All this space below the work area should be free of any obstacle that may cause harm or injury to the worker.

THE RISKS OF FALLINGFalling from heights is still the main cause of major injury and death in the workplace with a fall happening every 5 minutes.
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS• CSA “Canadian Standards Association”• Provincial regulations• ANSI “American National Standards Institute”• OSHA “Occupational Health & Safety Administration”
OBLIGATIONSEmployers must:• Conduct a work site risk analysis• Supply the proper height safety equipment
for the specific application to meet all the required standards and regulations
• Train employees on the use and care of their height safety equipment
