The Difference Between Fall Prevention, Fall Restrain and Fall Arrest: 1. FALL PREVENTION: Fall prevention is when you are working at height, but you are prevented from falling, either by a barricade or other fixed structure. For example, walkways that have guardrails to prevent a person from falling to the level below. Another example of fall prevention could be the basket of a mobile elevated work platform. You are directly protected from falling out of the basket, but you are still required to wear a harness as there are other hazards that could cause the basket to bounce and through you out. 2. FALL RESTRAINT: Fall restraint is when you are working at height, but you are using fall protection equipment to keep you away from the area where there is a possibility of a fall. However, If the fall protection equipment is not used properly, a fall restraint position can quickly turn into a fall arrest position and special training is needed in the use of the equipment and techniques to remain safe. 3. FALL ARREST: Fall arrest is when you are working at height where you are immediately in a position where you can fall. Arrest is the word used to describe the act of stopping a free fall or a fall is stopped by the aid of supporting equipment. This is the most high-risk position as there is immediate danger of getting injured or even possibly death if you should fall. These areas can include structures such as: Ladders, Towers, Poles, Slopping Roof Tops, etc For more information and with a comprehensive Accredited Work At Height(Fall Arrest Technician Level 2) Training, Talk to us in Kenya VISCAR INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY LIMITED In Uganda Viscar Integrated Consulting Limited In Tanzania Viscar Integrated Consulting (TZ) Limited Richard Oduori "What goes up, must come down safely"
