The Fall Protection Code is a set of standards
that covers program management; system design;
training; qualification and testing; equipment, component
and system specifications for the processes
used to protect workers at height in a managed fall
protection program. This standard identifies those
standards and establishes their role in the Code
and their interdependence.
The Fall Protection Code encompasses standards
for personal fall protection systems that incorporate
a full body harness, intended to protect
the user against falls from a height either by preventing
or arresting free falls. In general, systems
that prevent a free fall are preferable to systems
that arrest a free fall. The types of systems that
shall be addressed by this Fall Protection Code include:
a) Fall restraint systems
b) Work positioning systems
c) Rope access systems
d) Fall arrest systems
e) Rescue systems
This standard specifies minimum requirements
for the processes, systems, sub-systems
and components used in a managed fall protection
program that meets all of the requirements of the
ANSI/ASSE Z359 Fall Protection Code.
