Fall from height.

Fall from height is a major cause of accidental death country today. You can be a victim (or cause) the fall-related accidents. Now is the time to learn how to prevent a failure in the workplace as well as at home. Others life you save may be your own as well.

Every step you do to control from fall. Every time you take one step, you impose your weight on the foot support, while you are swinging the other foot forward. Information about your body position is sent to the brain that tells your other leg which should be placed to prevent the fall.

Fall is divided into two categories: 1) the fall - the same level and 2) the fall - from the level that is not the same.

"The Fall - From the same height" for example slipping, tripping and jumping that resulted to fall on floor or ground, without a change in place of the original height where the worker is located; example, a worker slipped because there was water on the floor and fell or jumped through the floor drains and fell. "The fall - from the same height" do not get the attention as the "fall - from a different level", as it leading the cause of death accidental in construction work.

"The fall - from a different level" for example slipping, tripping and jumping that resulted in downfall of another level of height; example, a worker fell to the floor of scaffold with a height of 3 meters and above a slip from a scaffold foothold or a worker who tried to run over steel without a protective cover on the valve tripping, falling from a height of 35 meters. "Fall - from the la different level" is bad as it is a major cause of death in construction work.

Prevention.

The Fall From The Same Height

· You may consider that you cannot fall if you are not in high places, but many fall's obviously occurs when both your feet are above ground.

· You may slip on a wet floor. Clean spills, water spills, oils, greases, solvents, coffee - before spillage drop YOU!.

· Some floors are always wet due to the nature of work task. Use anti-slip shoes or boots and be extra careful with your footsteps.

· You can fall from the same level by jumping over junk, appliances, electrical cables or other messy stuff - all that is left in place an undue.

· Uneven floors, floor drains that are not covered, floor or ceramic that can make you slam the floor. Report disorder - and continues report till being improved.

· Sometimes there are little things that harm you. Notice the small objects, especially the spinning or rolling.

Maybe you have a ridiculous fall or maybe tragic. The trouble is - you never know until you fall.

The fall - from a different level

What are the different type of protection against falling? The basic form of protection is the harness / strap fasteners over 2 meters. 2 meters rope are hook on an object that does not move especially on top of the workers.

Another type of fall protection is a lifeline. Lifeline is a rope that is stand-alone on a structure that is above the workers. Bound to the harness to prevent from fall, with a rope fastener as part of the system.

Static rope is another form of fall protection. Static rope stretched horizontally (where the safety rope stretched upright) The workers tied a strap them on static rope, walked out along the pieces of steel, with a fixed bound on static rope continuously.

Protection

Make sure the house is clean at all places at all times. Spills, waste, materials and equipment used must be removed immediately to prevent the "The Fall From The Same Height"

Harness is required in working time and tied tightly while working in and / or within:

• Any platform, stage or floating supported scaffold.
• A roof slops
• Each scaffold with handrails or boards that are not complete.

o Stairs near to the edge of the roof and the open sections of the floor.

o Range of 6 feet of each roof edge or open sections and the floor.

Especially working at height without protection.
