General instruction
Suitable fall protection equipment must be used if work at a height cannot otherwise
be planned, organized and carried out safely with collective safeguards against falls,
such as guardrails, scaffolding or personnel lifts.
When organizing work with fall-arrest equipment, account must be taken of any
physical or mental strain, inconvenience, etc. associated with the use of the
equipment. This may be done, for example, by limiting working hours or by providing
appropriate breaks in the work. In construction work, there are special rules for the
use of fall protection equipment, which are described in AT Guidance 2.4.1 on falls
from a height on construction sites and 2.4.2 on falls from a height when working on
roofs.
The employer must provide suitable fall protection equipment when, on the basis of a
specific assessment, the work situation so requires.
The employer must ensure the maintenance and cleaning of the fall-arrest equipment.
The fall protection equipment must be used immediately at the start of the work,
throughout the work and in the work areas where it is required.
Before using the fall protection equipment, the user must have received instruction in
the use of the equipment and information on the dangers of not using it. The user must
also be trained and, if necessary, regularly instructed in its use.
The user must be instructed in the plan for rescue after a fall, including rescue
equipment, as injuries can quickly occur to a hanging person.
