While it is best to eliminate or passively control fall hazards, there are times when using personal protective equipment becomes the only option. To reduce injuries and fatalities from falls, it is essential that active fall protection systems, such as travel restraint and fall arrest systems, are properly engineered. So, where does one start with designing an active fall protection system? Introducing Fall Protection Engineering, an ASSP publication that focuses on the engineering of active fall protection. The authors of Fall Protection Engineering followed the guidelines outlined in the Z359 Fall Protection Code, particularly ANSI/ASSP Z359.6, which specifies and designs active fall protection systems. This book offers comprehensive guidance on the design, installation, and use of these complex systems. It covers various related topics, including the role of a qualified person, equations of motion, fall clearances, swing-fall dynamics, horizontal lifelines, and includes numerous case studies to integrate all these topics effectively.
