The difference between Fall Arrest System and Fall Protection for Tools

The difference between Fall Arrest System and Fall Protection for Tools

A Fall Arrest System is designed to stop a person's fall and minimize injury. It typically includes a harness, lanyard, and anchor point. In contrast, Fall Protection for Tools aims to prevent tools from falling and causing hazards below. It might involve tool tethers or holsters. While both focus on safety, the former protects the worker and the latter safeguards the work area from falling tools.

What is a Fall Arrest System?

A fall arrest safety system typically includes an anchor point or series of anchor points, a safety lanyard or self-retracting lifeline, and a harness.    This system must be designed to “arrest” or stop you before hitting the lower surface in the case of a fall.    This gives you the freedom to walk all the way up to a fall hazard to do your work.

What is Fall Protection for Tools?

Personal Fall Protection is for YOU, Fall Protection for Tools is for EVERYONE.  Working at height poses unique risks and hazards that you typically wouldn’t come across while working at ground level.     Most workers think when they work at heights that all they need is their personal fall protection equipment and they will be safe.

What is a Fall Restraint System?

While utilizing many of the same elements, a fall restraint safety system keeps you from getting close enough to the fall hazard to fall.  Imagine a leash keeping you within a safe distance from the edge.  You are free to do your work without concern of falling and possibly injuring yourself because you are unable to reach the drop.
