Fall Arrest Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What are fall arrest recovery devices?

Fall arrest recovery devices are safety systems designed to stop a person from falling and to safely lower or raise them in the event of a fall. They typically include a combination of fall arrest blocks, recovery winches, and harnesses.

Fall arrest systems are necessary to prevent workers from hitting the ground or other structures after a fall. They help in minimizing the risk of serious injury or death by arresting the fall and enabling a safe recovery.
