Fall Protection 2026

In this video, I cover the essentials of fall protection, emphasizing the difference between fall arrest and fall restraint, and the importance of conducting a hazard assessment before starting work. I introduce the A, B, C, Ds of fall protection: anchorage points, body support, connectors, and descent and rescue, highlighting that 54% of fatalities occur when workers lack access to a personal fall arrest system. I also walk you through calculating fall clearance to ensure safety. I urge everyone to inspect their equipment before use and to have a solid rescue plan in place. Remember, safety is paramount, so let’s make sure we’re all equipped and ready to work safely at heights!
