2.1 FALL PROTECTION
PROGRAM
North Safety Products believes that the
attainment of continuous fall protection,
where fall hazards exist, is dependent on
a consistent collaborative commitment
by management and workers. The
development of, and continuous adher-
ence to, a written policy is necessary to
achieve this goal. The written policy
should consider the following points:
2.1.1 HAZARD ANALYSIS
• both seen and unseen
• understand the job requirements
• any obstructions, above or below
• any moving machinery
2.1.2 PREVENTION VERSUS
PROTECTION
• identify the specifics of the task
• can the hazard be eliminated?
• is personal protection required?
– what is the fall distance?
– what is the worker’s weight?
– what force levels will be exerted on
