7. Work methods for work with fall hazards

Different working environments place different demands on how the work is planned and which fall protection system can be used.

This chapter describes common working environments and principles for the use of personal fall protection when working, for example, on roofs, metal structures and other locations where fall hazards are present.

The examples do not replace risk assessment, training or the manufacturer's instructions. The actual solution must always be adapted to the work task, the workplace and the equipment being used.

Remember

The work method must be selected according to the task and the risks – not according to whatever equipment happens to be available.
