Training Objectives

Identify the components of a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS)

Understand the requirements for safety net installation and clearance

Course Overview

When prevention measures like guardrails aren't enough, fall protection systems are your last line of defense. This section focuses on Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) and Safety Net Systems. You will explore the three essential pillars of a PFAS: the anchorage point, the full-body harness, and the connecting device (such as a lanyard or deceleration device). We break down the technical requirements, including the 5,000-pound weight capacity for anchors and the necessity of regular equipment inspections.

Additionally, we cover safety net protocols, ensuring they are installed as close as possible to the working surface and never more than 30 feet below. Master these tools to ensure that even if a fall occurs, it doesn't result in a tragedy.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

A PFAS consists of an anchorage, a body harness, and a connector (such as a lanyard or deceleration device).

Anchorages used for PFAS must be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per employee attached.

No. As of 1998, OSHA prohibited the use of body belts for fall arrest because they can cause internal injuries; only full-body harnesses are permitted.

Equipment must be inspected by the user before each use for wear, damage, and other deterioration, and periodically by a competent person.

Safety nets must be installed as close as practicable under the walking-working surface on which employees are working, but in no case more than 30 feet below.

Disclaimer: OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.29 outlines the criteria and practices for fall protection systems and falling object protection. The regulation provides minimum dimensions after which fall protection and prevention systems must be in place. This training provides an overview of regulations applicable to common scenarios where fall hazards are present. It does not replace practice with live safety systems.
