Fall Arrest

Fall Protection Equipment

In the past decade alone, statistics show that more than 450 Canadian workers were killed and another 63,000 were injured on the job — with falls making up a large portion of these accidents. What’s more: These injuries come with a steep price tag, costing Canada in excess of $19 billion annually in health care, hospitalizations and reduced productivity.

Construction workers are some of the most at-risk workers since they’re three to four times more likely to be hurt on the job than people in other occupations. For this reason, it’s important to understand that one of the top ways to prevent accidents, injuries and fatalities on the jobsite is the proper use of fall arrest equipment.

It takes only one fall without protective equipment to change your life forever. Fortunately, with the types of fall protection equipment offered by Construction Fasteners and Tools, you never have to clean a gutter, work on a rooftop or climb scaffolding without the appropriate fall arrest gear.

Guardrails and scaffolding systems aim to stop workers from ever reaching a ledge, end of a roof or other fall point. However, due to the nature of the work involved, the risk of a fall is sometimes simply part of the job. In these instances, fall arrest equipment is the best way to ensure the freedom of motion a task requires while simultaneously protecting workers in the case of an accidental fall.
