Fall Protection Field Guide

Fall Hazard Hierarchy of Controls

Don't Take Unnecessary Risks!

The most effective course of action is always to ELIMINATE OR PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FALL. The proper use of Personal Fall Protection PPE (Full Body Harnesses, Lanyards, etc.) is an effective means of mitigating the risks associated with the effects of a fall; but, as with other PPE, should always be considered a last resort. There are several degrees of effective fall protection that exist between those two extremes - these measures are subjective, and their degree of effectiveness is directly related to the area and conditions under which they are employed.
