The additional fall protection system should be chosen in such a way that it will not hinder the exercise. Preferably this additional fall protection is not even noticeable by the participant. This means that a risk is identified and controlled to a lower level weighted against the effort, time and money needed to control it
As low as reasonably practicable
Clear / precise communication

Preventing the user of a personal fall protection system from colliding with the ground, structure, or any other obstacle during a free fall Personal fall protection system which limits the impact force on the body of the user during fall arrest Preventing the user of a personal fall protection system from going into a free fall The time that must be utilised in the course, either theory or practical elements, where training provider sees the most valuable for the participants As opposed to product specific training, a generic approach to teaching safety equipment focuses on the similarities and differences in design, functionality and operation between different equipment products. The generic approach is achieved by teaching a variety of rescue equipment products within each rescue equipment category (e.g. rescue stretchers) enabling the participant to conduct pre-use inspection and to use other rescue equipment products compared to those taught during this Module (based on the manufacturer’s user manual) but without additional formal training. Consequently, a potential task is placed upon the participant on course completion, requiring them to familiarise themselves with other rescue equipment products in their own organisation e.g. prior to site or work, based on the manufacturer’s user manual. A technique used during the rescue of a casualty from a ladder where the rescue line is diverted using the side D-ring located at the hip of the rescuer’s harness. This creates greater space between the casualty and the ladder
