It is every employer's duty to ensure the safety of their workers, and if your employees work at potentially dangerous heights, you must comply with the relevant health and safety regulations in order to minimise the risk of a fall.

There are several different ways to protect your workers from harm while working from height - fall arrestequipment is designed to stop the user from hitting the ground when they fall, whereas fall prevention products (e.g. safety barriers, man anchors) aim to prevent such falls from occurring in the first place.

Fall arrest vs fall restraint – what’s the difference?

When trying to select the right fall protection system for you, it’s important to know the difference between different systems. Fall restraint systems prevent the user from being able to move into areas where there’s a risk of falling, whereas fall arrest systems allow the user more freedom of movement, including into areas where there is a risk of falling. If the user does fall, the fall arrest system catches the user before they hit any lower surface.
