Understanding Fall Protection Systems

Fall protection systems, including fall arrest systems, are designed to prevent falls from height or to arrest falls safely. These systems are crucial in industries like construction, maintenance, and any other work involving elevated positions. The EN795 2012 and OSHA mandate strict guidelines for fall protection to minimise the risks associated with working at height.
