This document discusses rolling out a fall prevention campaign across multiple construction projects. It includes: 1. Discussing a recent fall on another project and sharing fall prevention strategies. 2. Emphasizing communication of fall hazards and prevention methods to site and project personnel. 3. Discussing lanyard selection and issues like falls, stretch, and eliminating fall risks through identifying hazards, developing prevention plans, and roles for supervisors and employees.

1. Roll-out of Campaign with same methodology on
Fall Prevention to share and kick off the system
with our other Projects
Discussion on recent fall on another project and our
reasons to share our campaign system

2. High emphasis group discussion of topic,
relevance and communication with KEY Site /
Project Personnel
Emphasis on floor openings

3. Communicating the lessons associated with each
poster / slide & aims and objectives

4. Lanyard selection, falls & stretch issues

5. Eliminate Falls Safety Cycle

6. Stop The Drop
Dr. Barrie O’Sullivan (8th Feb – 2015)
Don’t leave tools,
nuts ,bolts or any
other loose items or
materials at heights,
they can fall and
injure a co-worker
Don’t carry loose
tools in pockets
and do not use
un-tied tools at
heights.
Carry tools in a
tool belt and tie
them off
When ever you
work off the
ground, or near
opening where
items can fall
and cause
injury, maintain
housekeeping.
Make sure
there is edge
protection,
barricade the
drop zone
below
Be aware of your
surroundings and
don’t
compromise
barricades
Where
else can
we be at
risk from
dropped
objects?

7. Working At Heights (Harnesses & Lanyards)
Dr. Barrie O’Sullivan (8th Feb – 2015)
1.8 m
1.1 m
1.8 m
6 ft
3.5 ft
6 ft
Clearance
Maximum free-fall
distance
Climbing above
anchorage
Lanyard position
Clearance
Adjustable versus fixed length
Work environment
 High heat
 Abrasion
resistance
 Worker
movement
 Stretch factor
 Chemical
Consider
Not taking the height into account is like wearing a Parachute that
opens on impact – Not much use at all.
The Height,
The stretch &
the fall
