The Benefits Of A Fall Arrest System On Your Construction Site

Construction News Image
When an employee is exposed to the risk of working at height an appropriate fall arrest system is required.

Working at height as defined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is considered any work in any place where, if precautions are not taken, a person could fall a distance liable to cause injury.

This is often defined by any works undertaken above ground/floor level as working at height is defined by falling from one level to a lower level. Such situations are incredibly common in the construction industry and the safe guards you as an employer put into position are paramount to provide a duty of care and safety to your employees where the above definitions apply.
