Anatomy .33sec./2 feet of a Fall .67 sec./7 feet  It takes most people about 1/3 1 sec./16 feet of 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. 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).
