Protection contre les chutes de hauteur (RSS)
An analysis of falls in the construction sector Falls from height and falls on the same level are a significant cause of harm in the construction sector. It is estimated that nearly one-third of serious harm accidents in construction result from slips, trips, or falls, either from height or on the same level. Falling Short in Workplace Safety analyses 340 serious harm investigation files related to falls in the construction industry in 2007 to 2009. The accidents represented in this study include nine fatal accidents. The key findings of the analysis are presented here. These findings represent...
Prévenir les risques de chutes La prévention des risques de chutes de hauteur ne concerne pas que le BTP. Même si ce secteur continue de représenter les risques les plus significatifs d'un point de vue statistique, les travaux sur charpentes, toits, pylônes, échafaudages, passerelles, escaliers... représentent autant d'activités à risques. Les chutes avec dénivellation constituent en effet la seconde cause d'accidents du travail mortels, après ceux liés à la circulation routière. Si le BTP...
This Standard specifies design and performance requirements, test methods, and requirements for marking and labelling individual connecting components used as part of a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). This Standard applies to components that are (a) used in the interconnection of a complete PFAS unit in accordance with CSA Z259.10; (b) intended to be used as the primary single link to a permanent anchorage connector; or (c) intended to be used as a primary attachment point between two or more subsystems.

Vertical systems, harnesses, lanyards and climbing systems must be developed for the variety of fall hazards associated with tower construction, maintenance and rescue. The world is beginning to rely more on alternative energy, making wind power one of the largest sources of new electricity generation. As wind turbines begin to dot the landscape around the country, more workers will be required to install and service these structures. More workers on the job site means fall protection equipment designers and manufacturers must anticipate and address the unique challenges this growing industry demands...
Two new documents from ISEA will help protect workers whose jobs expose them to fall hazards. A Personal Fall Protection Equipment Use and Selection Guide provides practical, hands-on guidance for fall protection users and administrators in their selection, use, maintenance and inspection of fall protection equipment. A companion document addresses topics in fall protection on which manufacturers get frequent inquiries. Prepared by manufacturers in the ISEA Fall Protection Group, the use and selection guide describes the process of developing a corporate fall protection program, explains the components...
Safety nets have become a common means of providing collective protection, particularly in construction, to mitigate the effects of falls where it is impractical to use temporary edge protection. The reason for carrying out the research was to explore issues where there was doubt/concern about the performance of safety nets and their attachments. This research evaluated the effectiveness of safety nets, as used in the UK, to identify the risk (if any) of premature failure, in less than ideal conditions that could occur in the use. A series of non-ideal loading conditions involving a range of variables...
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued guidance on Fall Protection in Residential Construction to help employers prevent fall-related injuries and deaths among residential construction workers. Data shows that falls are the leading cause of death for workers involved in residential construction. Directed primarily to those working on new construction, the document describes safety methods employers can implement during stages of construction. Methods for preventing fall-related injuries and deaths include using anchors for personal fall arrest systems and fall restraints,...
Cet avis reprend la décision de la Commission européenne selon laquelle la mesure d'interdiction de mise sur le marché du modèle antichute HACA (EN 353-1) prise par les autorités britanniques est justifiée.

The video is for those involved in working at height who carry out building and plant maintenance activities. It aims to make you aware of the steps that should be taken to ensure the work is carried out safely and to demonstrate a number of different types of access equipment in use. http://www.hse.gov.uk/falls/video/index.htm?eban=rss-
Le travail de couvreur se classe parmi les plus dangereux qui soient. Ces travailleurs sont exposés à environ six fois plus de risques d'accidents graves que les autres et une chute s'avérant mortelle dans 75 % des cas. L'installation d'un garde-corps autour du toit constitue le meilleur moyen de les prévenir sans entraver le travail. Or, les garde-corps préfabriqués utilisés au Québec n'ont jamais fait l'objet de vérifications ou d'essais de validation. Un des objectifs de cette étude visait à...
Explanatory Statement The National Code of Practice for the Prevention of Falls in Housing Construction (Housing Falls Code) supports the National Standard for Construction Work (2005) and provides guidance on ways to effectively manage the risks associated with working at height in the residential construction sector. The Housing Falls Code contains specific guidance for all those who work in this industry, including information for adopting a risk management approach for all work at height in the residential construction sector, as well as detailed guidance when working at 2 metres and above...

En plus des dangers présents dans les ateliers de mécanique, toutes les fosses présentent les risques suivants: l'explosion suite à l'accumulation de vapeurs dans la fosse; la chute de personnes ou d'objets dans la fosse; le basculement du véhicule dans la fosse. http://autoprevention.qc.ca/docs/FT_S03_Fosses.pdf
In 2002 the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) published a review entitled ‘Harness Suspension: Review and Evaluation of Existing Information'. It was noted in this report that the rescue plan was an essential part of fall protection arrangements. The requirement for this work arose because first aid training organisations and first aiders were not clear about the correct positioning of rescued casualties in the event of a harness suspension situation. http://news.hse.gov.uk/2009/05/27/rr708-evidence-based-review-of-the-current-guidance-on-first-aid-measures-for-suspension-trauma/
Falls from elevations hit hardest in the residential construction industry. But despite the deadly dangers of working from a height, too few employers plan for fall protection.
