Work Restraint
When a worker is required to approach an unprotected fall hazard, the safest form of protection is a work restraint system.
A work restraint system uses equipment to restrict movement and prevent the user from reaching an area in which a fall could occur.
Care should be taken when setting up the system to ensure that a safe working zone is created, as once in place the worker's level of awareness will decrease.
An effective technique will then provide an extremely high level of safety.
Equipment that is designed for fall arrest or work positioning may also be suitable for work restraint.
If you have any doubts as to the suitability of height safety equipment please contact the SpanSet training team.
