Fall Arrest Equipment
(43) Product(s)According to the HSE, fall restraint equipment prevents a person getting into a position where they could fall, while fall arrest equipment stops a person from hitting the ground or a lower surface after they have already fallen.
Arresting the fall should always be considered a last resort; if possible, it is always better to prevent the fall from happening in the first place using fall restraint systems, but this isn't always practical or viable.
Fall arrest systems typically include a full-body fall arrest harness, a shock-absorbing lanyard, an anchor line and anchor point and various connector equipment like karabiners and D-rings.

When I Should I Use Fall Arrest Equipment vs Fall Restraint Equipment?
Fall restraint equipment should be used when the work allows you to stay away from hazards e.g. there is a safe zone where workers can’t reach the fall edge.
Fall arrest equipment should be used where restraint is impossible and workers must be near or over a leading edge or fragile roof where railings aren’t feasible and full edge access is required.
