ECNY Safety Roundtable

Anatomy

• f a Fall

 It takes most people about 1/3

• f a second to become aware.

 It takes another 1/3 of a second

for the body to react.

 A body can fall up to 7 feet in

2/3 of a second.

 10 ft Fall creates 18,000 lbs of

force.

.33sec./2 feet .67 sec./7 feet 1 sec./16 feet 2 sec./64 feet

We don’t need Fall Protection

It will only take a second to complete

the task.

I left my gear in the truck. I’ve done “this” a thousand times. We are not up “that” high.

Fall Protection Plans

 All work sites should develop a written fall protection plan which

includes:

 Identification of the fall hazards in each area  Detailing the fall protection system(s), and/or equipment to be used in each

area

 Implementing the procedures to assemble, maintain, inspect, use and

disassemble the fall protection system(s)

 Organizing procedures for rescue of a worker who has fallen and is

suspended by personal fall arrest system or safety net, but is unable to effect self rescue.

ANSI Z359.2 Inspections

 Inspections  Daily inspections of fall protection equipment and

anchorages by the authorized person, or user of the equipment, as well as yearly inspection by a qualified person, competent person or competent rescuer are required

 Items to verify include:  Presence and legibility of markings and tags  Presence of all integral components of the equipment  Absence of defects and damage

Walking Work Surfaces Updates

 Inspecting and certifying permanent anchorages for rope

descent systems (November 20, 2017),

 Installing personal fall arrest or ladder safety systems on new

fixed ladders over 24 feet and on replacement ladders/ladder sections, including fixed ladders on outdoor advertising structures (November 19, 2018),

 Replacing cages and wells (used as fall protection) with

ladder safety or personal fall arrest systems on all fixed ladders over 24 feet (November 18, 2036).
