GWO Basic Safety Training / V19 02052025
Demonstrate how to attach fall arrest lanyards correctly to the harness (dorsal, or possible front, attachment point) according to manufacturer’s user manual and relevant country-specific requirements/restrictions
Facilitate practice for the participants before working at height during practical exercises
Provide constructive feedback on the participants’ performance during the practice
The participants shall:
Practise how to correctly attach fall arrest lanyards to a harness
ELEMENT 6.4 - FALL FACTOR
Learning objectives:
46) The participants can explain the ‘fall factor’ and principle of selecting anchor points which reduce the fall factor to as low as possible (Knowledge, intermediate level)
47) The participants can act independently in using the principle of selecting anchor points which reduce the fall factor to as low as possible (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Define the term ‘fall factor’ as it relates to working at height and fall arrest lanyards
Show diagrams of and explain the following:
a.
factor 1 fall (FF1)
b.
factor 2 fall (FF2)
Explain how the distance of a free fall can affect the severity of a fall
Explain how reducing the fall factor will reduce the potential free fall distance
Explain how attaching a fall arrest lanyard to an anchor point that is above shoulder height will reduce the fall factor
Demonstrate how to select anchor points for the attachment of fall arrest lanyards so that the fall factor is reduced to less than FF1
