fall protection
Keeps workers secure
Fall protection refers to equipment and systems designed to prevent workers from falling or to arrest falls safely—harnesses, guardrails, safety nets, and anchor points.
The term belongs to workplace safety regulations, particularly in construction and industrial settings: OSHA requires fall protection for anyone working above six feet.
Fall protection training teaches proper use of these systems.
