Questions about Fall Arrest Anchor Points?

Workers may be outfitted with superior full body harnesses and have state-of-the-art retractable lifelines and believe they are adequately covered in the event of a fall. But if they are choosing insufficient anchorage points for attachment, the system may fail should a fall occur.

Join the National Safety Stand-Down
May 4-15, 2015

The purpose of the National Fall Prevention Stand-Down is to raise awareness of preventing fall hazards in construction. Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction workers, accounting for 279 of the 806 construction fatalities recorded in 2012. Those deaths were preventable. Fall prevention safety standards were among the top 10 most frequently cited OSHA standards, during fiscal year 2014.
