Equipment should never be shared between workers. Fall arrest equipment includes: full body harness, shock absorbers, locking snap hooks, rope grabs, D-rings, web lanyards, lifeline and anchor points. Procedures Ensure you have a clear plan on how to execute the work using the fall arrest system. Plan and be familiar with how to enter and exit safely an elevated surface. Make sure you are anchored securely to a fixed structure at all points of elevation. Incorporate a "buddy" system when working at heights and with fall arrest equipment. Emergency Preparedness Review the emergency preparedness procedure/plan in the event of an incident. Make sure there is a person properly trained and certified in first aid on the job site at all times. Always have a means to access/contact help on the job site, e.g. cell phone. Review the rescue and retrieval plan/procedure to rescue a person at any height in a safe and timely fashion. ACTION! Demonstrate the proper fit of the fall arrest equipment to ensure the fit is snug with little movement. Have the crew check the fit by pulling on the D-ring (the D-ring should not slide up and down and only two fingers should fit under the D-ring).
