best ways to prevent a fall correct answers change work schedule (arrange for work to take place
after permanent safety features are installed ie guardrails, walls); move work location (eg build a

cover floor and roof openings; securely fasten covers; install warning barriers; travel restraint
system
three types of ladders correct answers aluminum; wood; polyurethane
disadvantage of using a ladder correct answers it is not a work platform; duties that increase risk
of fall from a latter include reaching to the side, handling bulky items, using a lot of force,
muscle fatigue
, scaffolding correct answers good choice to use instead of a ladder; are fully planked, have
guardrails, a safe means of access and egress (ladder or stairs)
requirements of EWP (elevated work platforms) correct answers must have guardrails;
operations must be trained on specific class; if it will be moved the worker must be tied off
requirements of SAE (suspended access equipment) correct answers hazardous because it is done
at heights; workers must be tied off while working on, or getting on or off; must be competent to
select, inspect, set up and use the eqipment, and be trained in fall protection.
when checking a ladder correct answers look for the CSA logo; check harness to make sure
hardware and straps are intact and undamaged; moving parts are moving freely; webbing is free
of burns, cuts, loose stitching, frayed material, signs of damage; fall arrest indicator as not
deployed
when checking a fall arrest lanyard correct answers check for freying, kinking, loose or broken
stitching; rust, cracks and damage to hardware, stress or tearing on the cover jacket of the energy
absorber
when checking a lifeline correct answers check for cuts, burns, tears; strands that are different
sizes or shapes; discoloration and brittleness; broken or loose strangs inside the rope;
accumulation of powder or dirt inside the rope;
when checking fall arrest/lifeline components correct answers check for damage, cracking, dents,
bends, or signs of deformation; sharp edges; moving parts that don't work smoothly; rust and
signs of wear or metal fatigue
travel restraint system correct answers assembly of components capable of restricting a workers
movement on a work surface and preventing the worker from reaching a location from which he
or she could fall
fall restricting system correct answers type of fall arrest system that has been designed to limit a
workers fall to a specified distance
fall arrest system correct answers an assembly of components joined together so that when the
assembly is connected to a fixed support it is capable of arresting a workers fall
suspension trauma (orthostatic intolerance) correct answers occurs if you are suspended in your
harness in an upright position for a period of time; blood pools in your legs depriving your brain
of oxygen. Can lead to loss of consciousness, serious injury or death. Best protection from this is
effective and timely rescue plans. Conscious workers can use relief straps or tie a loop for a
foothold to relief pressure and increase circulation. When emergency services arrive, tellt hem
how long the worker has been suspended.
