9.2. Fall protection

9.2.1 General
This procedure describes a three-step, systematic approach to be used by First Arab to protect its
employees on the project from falls when they are working at elevated positions or are exposed to
potential fall hazards. This procedure explains how to eliminate fall hazards, prevent falls, and
eliminate or reduce injury if a fall does occur.

9.2.2 Definitions
Anchor Point - A secure point of attachment for lifelines, lanyards, or deceleration devices. An
anchorage must be capable of supporting a minimum dead weight of five thousand (5,000) pounds
(2,268 kilograms) for each person attached to it. An anchor point is often a beam, girder, column, or
floor.

Competent Person - Any personnel who has been trained to inspect fall-arresting equipment such

as horizontal and vertical lifelines.

Lanyard - A rope (nylon or steel cable) suitable for supporting one person.
Lifeline - A vertically suspended rope with one end attached to a stationary object (such as a
structural member), capable of supporting at least five thousand (5000) pounds (2,268 kilograms) of
dead weight and the other end attached to a lanyard or safety harness.

Qualified Inspector - Any experienced craftsperson or supervisor who has demonstrated to

Project/Site Management his or her ability and competency to inspect equipment.

Retractable Lifeline - A fall-arrest device that allows free travel, without slack rope, but locks
instantly when a fall begins. Retractable lifelines may be used, but horizontal movement must be
limited.

Rope Grabs (Fall Arrestor) - Automatic lifeline devices that act by inertia (resistance to movement)
to grab the lifeline if a fall occurs. Rope grabs are used when vertical movement is required, such as
work from boatswain chairs or suspended scaffolds.

Safety Harness - A safety harness is an approved design of straps which may be Secured about
the employee’s body in a manner to distribute the fall arrest forces over at least the thighs, pelvis,
waist, chest, and shoulders, with a means for attaching it to other components of a personal fall
arrest system.

Static Line or Catenary Line - A cable or rope strung horizontally and/or vertically from one
substantial object to another, providing a means of traveling between those two objects while
maintaining fall protection between those objects.

Structural/Substantial Object - Any object to which a lifeline or lanyard may be attached that will
support five thousand (5000) pounds (2,268 kilograms) of dead weight.

9.2.3 Systematic approach to fall hazard management

First Arab must take a three-step systematic approach to protecting employees from falls.

9.2.3.1 Fall determination

The first step in this approach is to assess the workplace and the work itself in the earliest
design/engineering stages of the project/site and during the planning stages of all work. The objective
is to eliminate all fall hazards. This assessment of the project/site and the work not only helps
eliminate hazards, but also identifies alternative approaches to the work that can measurably

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PLAN(HSE PLAN)
FAC-SPWP-HSE-001 Date: 06-Jan-2024

enhance productivity.

Addressing fall protection in the early phases of a project/site means that safety can be designed
into the work process. For example, the project/site can be designed so that anchorages for securing
fall-arrest systems are provided at strategic locations throughout the project/site, thus improving
safety and lowering costs.

9.2.3.2 Fall prevention

The second step in continuous fall protection also requires assessing the workplace and work
processes. If fall hazards cannot be completely eliminated during the first step, management must
take a proactive approach to the prevention of falls by improving the workplace. Early installation of
stairs, guardrails, barriers, and travel restriction systems can ensure a safe work environment.

9.2.3.3 Fall arresting

The third step, the last line of defense against falls, is to use fall-arresting equipment. Use fall-
arresting equipment, however, ONLY after determining that potential falls cannot be eliminated by
changing work procedures or the workplace. Equipment such as harnesses, lanyards, shock
absorbers, fall arresters, lifelines, anchorages, and safety nets can reduce the risk of injury if a fall
occurs. Carefully assess the workplace and work processes to select the most appropriate
equipment and to install and use it correctly.
9.2.3.4 Training
All personnel performing work at elevated positions shall meet the following requirements:

- must be trained in the use, inspection, and maintenance of fall arrest systems;
- must demonstrate competency in initial training;
- Must undergo refresher training as required by changes in the workplace and/or equipment, or as
other events indicate that refresher training may be required.

9.2.3.5 Personnel responsibilities

When working at an elevation of 1.8 meters (six feet) or more aboveground, grade, floor, or approved
work surfaces such as platforms and scaffolds, or when working in an area where a fall potential of
greater than 1.8 meters exists, employees will utilize a full body harness with two lanyards and shock
absorbing unit and proper means of attachment.

If traversing at an elevation, employees must be tied off at all times, which require utilizing either two
(2) independent shock-absorbing lanyards or a dual (Y) lanyard with a shock-absorbing device.

designees, (if authorized), since conditions rapidly change. Each photograph shall be properly
labeled with the following information:
i. Description and location of principal item(s),
ii. Positions/directions in which the photographs were taken,
iii. Dates and time and,
iv. Name of photographer.
b.) The investigator should endeavor to provide a series of shots which supply a maximum of
useful information and which will enable the viewer to understand how the accident occurred.
c.) Several photographs should be taken employing a general view. The SIPCHEM approved and
authorized camera should be utilized clockwise until at least four general view photographs
have been taken.
d.) A set of views should be selected to show the relationship of the accident to surrounding
structures or articles. This may be suggestive of action immediately preceding the accident.
e.) As the scene is examined, various objects will appear to have relation to the injury. Tools,
blood stains and similar items should be photographed before they are moved or cleaned up.
Two (2) photographs are needed for a significant object, which is less than 300 mm in length.
The first should be at close range to obtain a fairly large image of the article. Also, the use of
a ruler laid alongside of the object shows exact Measurement of object. The second
photograph should be taken with the camera approximately 1.8 meters from object in order to
bring the background in view and show the object in perspective.
f.) Any contiguous areas, which may have been used by victim, should be considered part of the
scene of the accident. The nature of the accident will determine the extent to which the environs
need be photographed for a fuller understanding of the events that lead to the accident.
g.) The camera should be carefully placed to provide a perspective, which is both normal and
informative. The incorrect selection of photographic angle often results in a distorted and false
impression of the scene. This must be avoided, as we want to represent only factual
information.
h.) It is sometimes desirable to illustrate the statement of a witness by means of a "posed"
photograph. In this way, the inadequacies of verbal testimony can be graphically remedied. To
accomplish a posed photograph, a person with the same general physical appearance should
be used. Naturally, he should be placed in the same spot and positions as directed by the
witness. Marks or pointers should be used to clarify important aspects of the photograph. For
example, chalk can be used to show body position of victim. Prior to such a procedure,
however, photographs should be made of the untouched scene to obviate any objection to the
photograph in court on the grounds that it does not purport to show the original scene.
