Retractable type and guided type fall arresters
Safety is one of the key factors when working at heights. An employee hanging on the rope or in the harness is exposed to the risk of falling from a dozen or more meters. In order to guarantee adequate protection and eliminate the risk of accidents resulting from carelessness or equipment failure, it’s recommended to use special retractable type and guided type fall arresters.
IMPA 331107 SELF-LOCKING LIFELINE 15MTR
331109-SELF-LOCKING LIFELINE 25MTR, MAX LOAD 130KGS
The self-locking mechanism reduces the impact force and automatically stops the fall when a worker slips or falls with a sudden tension. Housing is made of durable glassfibre and drum-wound lifeline is made of stainless steel. Work load is less than 130 kgs. Workers using fall arrester must work directly under the anchorage to prevent swing fall injuries.

• Worker training: Deploy only workers who have successfully completed the
Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Perform Work at Height course to work
on roofs. Train workers to always anchor their safety harnesses when working
at height.
• Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE): Equip roof workers with anti-slip safety
footwear and fall-arrest or travel-restraint equipment along with secure
anchor point(s) or lifeline.
Note that the use of a standard lanyard with a shock absorber cannot be used
if the fall clearance distance is too short to safely stop one’s fall before
striking the ground. If the fall clearance distance is too short, the use of
an immediate arrest self-retracting line is recommended.
Prevent falls from open sides
|
|
|
Open sides without
proper barricades and lack of safe access are common safety lapses leading to
fall-from-height incidents, where workers have suffered serious injuries or
even lost their lives.
|
|
In the upcoming months,
the Ministry of Manpower will be conducting inspections targeting
work-at-height infringements in the construction, marine, and transport and
storage industries.
|
|
Protect your workers
from falling over open sides by including the following measures adopted by
many companies, into your fall prevention plan:
|
- Conduct a toolbox briefing before starting work. Alert workers to onsite risks and remind them how
they can work safely at heights. New workers are to complete
work-at-height training and a site orientation before being deployed to
work at height.
- Close off all open sides. Install guardrails and/or barricades along the
perimeter of open sides. The edge protection must be able to withstand a
weight of 100kg applied in any direction. Refer to Figure 1 for the
required dimensions for edge protection.
|
|
Figure 1: Required dimensions for
edge protection.
|
- Install a travel-restraint system. This restricts the movement of workers and keeps
them at a safe distance from any open sides if edge protection is not
feasible.
- Equip workers with fall-arrest equipment. If a travel restraint system is not feasible, each
worker must wear a full-body harness with connecting lanyards OR a
self-retracting lifeline.
- Secure anchor points. Identify and/or provide suitable anchor points for
each worker to hook their lanyards on to while they work at height.
Never deploy workers to work at height at sites where there are no
suitable anchor points. Refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4 on the various types
of secure anchor points.

structural element.
|
- Ensure 100% tie-off. Provide workers with a twin-tailed double lanyard
(refer to Figure 5) and train workers how to use the double lanyard such
that they are hooked to at least one anchor point or lifeline at any time.
|
|

lanyard.
|
- Maintain good workplace housekeeping. Ensure work areas and designated walkways are clear
of obstructions. Store loose tools and materials away from open sides as
these can fall and strike persons below, or cause workers working near
an open side to trip and fall.
|
|
Figure 6: Keep area near open sides
clear.
|
- Implement a permit-to-work (PTW) system. Implement a PTW for work-at-height activities where
a worker could fall more than three metres. This ensures onsite checks
are carried out to confirm risk controls are in place and effective
before the work is authorised to proceed.
