Fall Arrest: Insights and Ideas for Workplace Compliance
How to engineer the right solution for you

Maximum Arresting Force (or M.A.F.) is a term you will hear frequently used in association with fall protection, so it’s better to understand the term before you encounter it (if you’ve already encountered it, better late than never!). In simple terms, M.A.F. is exactly what it sounds like: the maximum amount of force produced on your body as your fall is being arrested.

Gorbel, turned to several industry experts to help clarify some of these issues. The complete findings, and potential solutions, are found in the ebook, "Fall Arrest: Insights and Ideas for Workplace Compliance," This article provides a summary of common issues, as well as solutions.

Five Ways to Effectively Use Your Safety Budget

Simplified Safety Fall Protection Blog

Sometimes you may have the luxury of working for a company that says, “Safety? Whatever you need, you get.” However, that is certainly not always the case. More often than not, you will need to work within a budget to meet your safety needs. While it’s nice to say that safety is of the utmost importance, therefore cost should never matter, the reality is that a company is in business to make money and if they’re not doing that, they won’t be around for very long.

When faced with the idea of meeting a budget, it’s important that you plan well to avoid being out of funds when something critical arises. Sure, you could try to “wing it”, and as long as you hit no major hiccups you could be fine, but if you misstep, the results could be disastrous.

Plan Ahead
As you have probably guessed, I’m not the biggest fan of the “wing it” methodology. My suggestion? Plan ahead.
