Fall prevention systems or fall restraint systems are safety systems designed to stop personnel from falling when working from significant heights. Ideally, this means the hazard is completely eliminated.

Fall prevention systems are active, which means workers have to take action in order to be protected. This is what differentiates them from collective restraint systems, which are passive and require no action on the part of the worker.

Prevention systems use individual restraints to keep workers from falling. They incorporate customised harnesses connected to an anchor and safety line to prevent workers from entering areas where hazards are located.

These systems must be professionally installed and should be regularly inspected to ensure compliance with health and safety and CDM regulations. (Construction (Design and Management) Regulations). These can be internal inspections carried out by the contractor, third party audits or external inspections by the Health and Safety Executive.

Fall prevention systems must be replaced when necessary. Training is required for proper usage.
