While everyone understands the dangers of working at height, not everybody is familiar with the different types of solutions that are available. This brief overview provides a simple synopsis of each type.

= Fall prevention =

There are two general types of protection: collective or personal.

Collective systems can be temporary (scaffolding, cranes, working platforms, safety netting, safety mats) or permanent (guardrails, walls, parapets, glass barriers, trolleys) and protect numerous people working on the site. Permanent collective restraints are installed around the perimeter of the building to block access to hazardous areas. They are passive and do not require additional action or equipment.

Personal safety lifelines are customised for a single worker and are active. This means workers need to take action by wearing the equipment in order to be safe. These personal lifelines include fall arrest systems (to minimise injury during a fall) or fall restraint systems (to prevent a fall from happening in the first place) and can be either temporary or permanent.
