1556   Fall Arrest Systems   (DVD)

Whether you use a personal fall arrest system every dayor only once in your lifetime, one thing is for certain: the system won't do any good unless it is used properly. Although your employer provides fall arrest equipment and training on its use, you ultimately are responsible for using it correctly in all required situations.

This video shows how to properly select and use personal fall arrest systems to work safely above ground. Topics include:

• forces involved in falls,
• components of a fall arrest system,
• inspection of the equipment,
• calculating fall distance,
• selection of appropriate connecting devices,
• and choosing a legal tie-off point
