Additional fall protection
Describes the use of an independent, additional suitable fall protection system in conjunction with a primary fall protection system. Typically, used during training to provide fall protection to participants as they learn to use fall protection equipment. Additional fall protection may sometimes be referred to as a “backup”
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
As low as reasonably practicable
This means that a risk is identified and controlled to a lower level weighted against the effort, time and money needed to control it
Buddy check A safety practice where two workers pair up to inspect each other’s equipment, tools, or work setup. The purpose of a buddy check is to catch any errors, oversights, or loose connections that a person might miss when inspecting their own setup. This extra layer of accountability helps prevent accidents, improves situational awareness, and reinforces a culture of safety on the worksite
