FAQs

Fall protection PPE refers to personal protective equipment designed to prevent or arrest falls from height.

It forms part of a wider height safety system that safeguards workers during elevated tasks.

Typical components include:

  • Lanyards and shock absorbers - reduce impact forces during a fall.
  • Full body harnesses - for safe suspension and even weight distribution.
  • Fall restraint systems - prevent workers from reaching hazardous edges.
  • Anchorage points and connectors - provide a secure connection to fixed structures.

Each element works together to ensure maximum safety and compliance across all working-at-height scenarios.

Fall protection PPE is mandatory for any worker exposed to potential height-related hazards.

It’s used across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Construction and roofing - for scaffolding, ladders, and elevated platforms.
  • Telecommunications and utilities - for pole climbing and tower maintenance.
  • Maintenance and warehousing - where access to elevated storage or structures is required.

SMI provides tailored solutions for every sector, ensuring teams stay protected and compliant.

  • Fall arrest refers to systems that stop a fall once it begins, minimising injury through shock absorption and harness support.
  • Fall protection includes systems designed to prevent a fall from occurring - for example, restraint systems and secure anchorage setups.
