“Accessing the inaccessible and expericen the peak feeling” may be the driving force behind everything you do.But don't forget to following the tooling instructions whether you are moving towards a summit or descending into darkness .Be Peak,be safe and be a safer .
1.GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF WORK AT HEIGHT
(1).General Information On Falls
The risk of falling is a key concept to master when working at height. The severity of a fall depends on independent factors:
- The weight of the user , including equipment : The greater the weight, the more energy to be dissipated during the fall.
- The length of the fall : The longer the fall, the more energy to be dissipated during the fall. The risk of hitting an obstacle is also greater.
The position relative to the anchor : When the worker moves above their anchor, the severity of the potential fall increases. The fall factor concept is sometimes used to describe the worker’s position relative to the anchor and the severity of the fall. This concept applies to climbing, restraint,or work-positioning situations, when a dynamic rope lanyard is used.
(2).Precautions for the type of system used:
The Instructions for Use specify the limitations for use of equipment, particularly in terms of fall distance and the worker’s position relative to the anchor.
Restraint
A restraint system limits the work zone, to help prevent the worker from entering an area that may present a fall risk. This system is not designed to arrest a fall from height.
Fall Arrest
The fall-arrest system is a belay system that is independent of the means of progression or work positioning. The fall-arrest system prevents the user from falling to the ground in the event of a fall. Its role is to arrest the fall while limitingthe impact force experienced by the user. It must therefore be used with enough clearance to allow for an unobstructed fall.
Work Positioning
A work-positioning system supports the user and allows them to be precisely positioned with the weight on their feet. This system is not designed to arrest a fall; the user must keep their body weight on the positioning system. The work positioning system must beused together with a fall-arrest system.
Suspension
The user is working while suspended when they no longer have any weight on their feet, but are supported primarily by the harness. The load is thus shared between the waistbelt and the leg loops/seat.
(3).Impact Force
- The user is working while suspended when they no longer have any weight on their feet, but are supported primarily by the harness. The load is thus shared between the waistbelt and the leg loops/seat.
(4).Clearance
Clearance is the minimum amount of clear space below the user that prevents the user from hitting an obstacle in the event of a fall.
- Clearance takes into account:
– Weight of the user
– Length of the fall
– Tearing length of the energy absorber
– Average height of the user
– Safety margin of 1 meter
- Clearance Value
The tearing length of the energy absorber,depending on the fall, can only be known based on the manufacturer’s information; this is why a clearance estimate is suggested in the Instructions for Use for each fall-arrest device.
(5).Anticipating the Means of Rapid Evacuation
- Limiting the effects of inert suspension:
In the event of a fall where the worker loses consciousness or is incapacitated, inert suspension in the harness presents a mortal danger requiring an urgent response. Work teams must be equipped and trained to quickly evacuate an injured team member.
- Evacuating a victim without assistance:
Procedures for evacuating workers should be determined whenever a new worksite is established. Releasable systems can be created when installing work ropes to allow evacuation from below.Working alone must be prohibited: a worker may find themselves alone at height, but at least one person trained in evacuations should be present and equipped on site.
