Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

A personal fall arrest system is the equipment required to secure a person to an anchorage point in such a way that a fall from height is either totally prevented or safely arrested. PPE is the personal protective equipment worn or held by the person and, in the case of fall protection, consists of a full body harness and a connecting device (lanyard, block or shuttle) attaching the harness to the anchorage device.

Individually these components will not provide protection from a fall. Used properly in conjunction with each other and with suitable training, however, they form a Personal Fall Arrest System that becomes vitally important to safety in the work place and the overall fall protection programme.
