Use the proper safety gear when you work up high
Our bodies have a serious design flaw: they break if they hit hard surfaces from heights. The higher you work, the better gravity works. The only way to beat it is to use proper fall protection equipment.
Twenty-five percent of work fatalities occur when people fall from heights. Most of these fatalities could have been prevented if the right equipment had been used appropriately.
If you work up high, you should take every precaution to ensure you don’t come down in a free fall. Skydivers always use the right equipment and they check, double-check and triple-check
it before they leap.
You should adopt that approach. Choose, inspect, hook up and use the right equipment and follow all procedures learned in training.
