What all do we consider before using PFAS?
Free-Fall Distance
Total Fall Distance
Anchorage Point Strength and Location
Therefore,
a. Anchor the harness above your
shoulder height with a strong anchor
point which can sustain your weight.
b. provision of suitable anchorage points
c. Training on how to use PFAS
The anchor point must be able to support at
least 5000 pounds.

Such as Telescopic boom - Cherry pickers, scissor lifts,etc.
1. Trained competent and physicallycapable operator
2. Six monthly inspections by 3RDParty.3. Must be used on level, stable ground.
4. Fully Extended Outriggers5. Follow SWL (Safe work load)6. Regular maintenance as per supplier
instructions7. The user of any MEWP must inspect the
safety critical items before each use- tyres, brakes, alarms, hydraulics, and
any other critical systems.8. Operators and passengers must wear a
full body harnessand have this clippedsecurely to the platform at all times.
It is prohibited to leave the basket at any time whilst elevated.
Planks, ladders etc should not be used to gain extra reach or height.

Electrical Safety
The hazard of electricity includes Burn, Shock, Arc, FIREand Electrocution.
The dangers are particularly increased where electricalequipment is used to adverse conditions, on site in wet ordamp areas, or where voltage is more lethal.
Causes of Electrical Failure1. Damaged Insulation, Poor cable routing,2. Inadequate over-current protection (fuses, RCDs etc)3. Inadequate earthling4. Overheated apparatus5. Earth leakage current6. Loose contacts and connectors,7. Unprotected connectors8. Overloading,9. Improper ELCBs,10. Incompetent workers, Unauthorized repair,11. Carelessness and complacency12. Poor maintenance and testing13. working in wet areas, improper sockets,
Electricity is another major hazard which can injure, kill and destroycompany assets, and also is often the main source of FIRE
