Understanding Training Requirements
It is important to remember though that donning fall protection equipment is not enough. Workers should be trained on how to properly use this equipment for working with heights, and they must know how to inspect their fall protection components to see if there is anything that needs to be repaired or replaced.
Workers also need to look out for one another and take precautions for the people working alongside them as well as those who may be above or below them. ThThese steps are crucial when it comes to creating a safety culture that will help ensure that all the workers on your job site understand what is at stake, and everyone works together so they can return home safely at the end of their shift.
It is also important to work with a reputable manufacturer who can help you select the right fall protection system configurations given the tasks at hand and the work site. From a connected order picker SRL to hard hats, hearing protection or eye protection, there are many considerations to take into account when selecting PPE. Work with a manufacturer who provides training, technical expertise and is available to answer questions and develop solutions based on your feedback. The science behind fall protection is what lifts people to new heights. Take the time to check out the latest options and make informed decisions that can help protect you and your colleagues.
