Fall protection and rescue equipment
A personal fall-protection system must be planned as compatible components. Product selection follows the work method, fall exposure, anchorage arrangement, mobility, clearance and rescue procedure.
Full-body harness kits
Grouped components for defined work-at-height applications, subject to compatibility and site assessment.
Lanyards
Connecting devices for restraint, positioning or fall arrest, including energy-absorbing and twin-leg options.
Self-retracting lifelines
Retractable connecting devices intended to limit free-fall distance while supporting worker movement.
Anchorages
Connection points and anchorage devices selected for the structure, installation method, loading and user count.
Connectors
Hooks, karabiners and connecting hardware matched for strength, gate action, dimensions and compatibility.
Guided fall arresters
Mobile fall-arrest devices that travel along a compatible vertical or inclined lifeline.
Temporary horizontal lifelines
Temporary anchorage lines planned for span, installation, number of users and fall-clearance requirements.
Confined-space systems
Tripods, retrieval devices and associated equipment integrated with entry and rescue procedures.
Rope access & rescue
Specialist ropes, descenders, pulleys and rescue components for trained and competent users.
Accessories
Equipment bags, trauma straps, tool-retention items and supporting components for system management.
1
Define the work method
Identify edges, openings, access routes, fragile surfaces, movement area, task duration and whether restraint or fall arrest is intended.
2
Plan anchorage and connection
Confirm the anchor location, system rating, connector compatibility, tie-off method and possible swing-fall path.
3
Calculate clearance
Account for free fall, energy-absorber deployment, line extension, worker height, harness stretch and the safety margin below.
4
Prepare inspection and rescue
Use trained workers, pre-use checks, formal inspections, equipment records and a site-specific method for prompt rescue after a fall.
Singapore workplace context
Integrate equipment with the fall-prevention plan
Singapore WSH guidance prioritises eliminating or preventing falls. Where personal fall protection is needed, workers require a compatible system, secure anchorage, suitable training, inspection and rescue arrangements.
- Conduct a site-specific work-at-height risk assessment
- Use collective fall prevention before personal fall arrest where reasonably practicable
- Confirm fall clearance, 100% tie-off method and equipment compatibility
- Plan prompt rescue and address suspension trauma
Important: A harness alone is not a fall-arrest system. Suitability depends on the harness, connection device, anchorage or lifeline, fall-clearance calculation, worker training, inspection regime and rescue plan. Selection and installation should be performed by competent persons.
Frequently asked questions
Fall protection FAQ
What components make up a personal fall-arrest system?
A typical system includes a full-body harness, a compatible connecting device such as an energy-absorbing lanyard or SRL, and a suitable anchorage or lifeline. Clearance, inspection and rescue arrangements are also essential.
Is a safety harness sufficient on its own?
No. The harness must connect to compatible equipment and a suitable anchorage. The complete system must address free-fall distance, arrest forces, swing fall, clearance and rescue.
When is an SRL considered instead of a lanyard?
An SRL may help limit free-fall distance and support mobility, but the model, anchorage position, leading-edge conditions and available clearance must suit the application.
Why is a rescue plan needed?
A worker left suspended after a fall can face serious health risks. The work plan should provide equipment, trained personnel and a method for prompt recovery without creating additional danger.
