Background and requirements for the use of high-altitude work fall arresters in construction projects

Falling accidents caused by high-altitude operations are the most common production safety accidents in the field of engineering construction. Due to the limited scope of safety belt operation and inconvenient movement, it is common for construction personnel to not use safety belts during high-risk construction activities such as column reinforcement binding, formwork assembly, concrete pouring, cast-in-place box girder support construction, bottom formwork installation, external formwork removal, and external guardrail construction.

The high-altitude operation anti fall device uses the speed difference between normal operation and sudden fall to provide anti fall safety protection. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, high strength, strong flexibility, wide applicability, and short fall distance. When used in conjunction with a safety belt, it can play a good role in anti fall protection during high-altitude operation.

In order to improve the safety of construction workers wearing anti fall devices, operators need to be familiar with the scope of use, pre use inspection, and precautions for using anti fall devices during on-site construction;

Engineering safety supervisors should provide careful guidance on the usage methods of construction personnel; Organize frontline construction personnel to receive training on the proper use of high-altitude work fall arresters. In high-risk construction areas where safety measures such as edge protection are not in place, fall arresters should be forcibly used. The use of fall arresters should be explored based on the characteristics of construction activities to effectively prevent the occurrence of high-altitude fall accidents.
