Design of Fall Protection Systems
Creator:Â af_istockerÂ
Design of Fall Protection Systems Based on SS607:2015 and SS EN 13374:2018:
The Workplace Safety and Health (Work At Heights) Regulation 30 requires Professional Engineers to design and calculate for every anchorage and anchorage lines of an industrial rope access system.
The course can equip Engineers with the skills to design and verify fall protection systems in compliance with the regulation^. In addition, Regulations 9-11 of the same regulation also requires a responsible person and occupier to ensure fall protection systems (guard-rail, barrier, fall arrest system, and travel restraint system) are safe for use. These regulations are supplemented by codes of practices and Singapore Standards.
^Existing Safety and Engineering courses do not cover the engineering aspects of fall protection systems in sufficient depth.
