Fall Prevention Training

Study Notes

Adhere to procedures, obtain work permits, and conduct risk assessments to ensure safety.
Minimize manual handling; if necessary, use proper lifting techniques.
Always comply with safety signs and warnings; never breach safety barriers or enter restricted areas without authorization.
Wear and maintain appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Always fasten seatbelts while driving; avoid using mobile devices, including hands-free kits, while operating vehicles.
Maintain clean and clutter-free work environments; use handrails when navigating stairs.
Ensure tools are suitable for tasks and well-maintained; prohibited horseplay or activities at work sites.

Operations performed at a height of 2 meters or more pose a risk of falling.
Typical high-altitude jobs include using ladders, scaffolding, and other elevated work platforms.
Annual death toll from falls exceeds 11,000, with over 200,000 cases of permanent disability.

Workers must be physically fit without conditions like acrophobia, hypertension, or heart disease.
All personnel must undergo relevant training and acquire necessary skills for working at heights.

Fall protection equipment includes full-body harnesses, safety nets, and lifelines.
Always inspect fall protection gear before use; report any issues immediately.
Select sturdy anchor points for safety gear, capable of withstanding at least 2250 kg; avoid using cable trays and guardrails as anchor points.
Follow the "high and tight" principle when using safety harnesses.

Work permits must be verified by area supervisors and task executors prior to starting work.
Rescue equipment should always be on-site and checked against inventory lists before work commences.
High-altitude work is prohibited during severe weather such as strong winds (over 15 m/s), thunderstorms, heavy rain, snow, or fog.
Clear ice, snow, and oil from work areas, implementing effective anti-slip measures.
Sufficient lighting is required for nighttime operations.

Establish exclusion zones and safety signs below high-altitude work areas to protect personnel below.
Release pressure or secure equipment in areas below where work may pose a risk.
Store tools and materials securely; never carry excessive weight; utilize hoisting tools for transport.
Avoid stacking materials on scaffolding; secure all tools and materials when work is paused.

Conduct job safety analysis (JSA) meetings before starting high-altitude work.
Develop a high-altitude rescue plan and ensure all workers are familiar with its provisions.
Secure a “cold work permit” before engaging in high-altitude activities.
All participating personnel must undergo relevant training to understand associated risks.
Rescuers should be trained and aware of their responsibilities.

Identify and publicize a list of personnel trained in high-altitude rescue within each unit.
Each rescue team must consist of at least three individuals (one team leader and two members).
In case of a fall incident, the rescue team must execute the high-altitude rescue plan immediately.
