Fall Protection Plans: What Are They & Why Are They Important?

In industries where working at heights is a common occurrence, ensuring the safety of workers is a priority. Among the many tools and strategies available, a fundamental aspect of safeguarding against falls is implementation of a comprehensive fall protection plan. But what exactly is a fall protection plan? And why is it crucial in today’s workplace?

A fall protection plan is a documented strategy designed to prevent falls and protect workers who perform tasks at elevated heights. It outlines procedures, protocols and safety measures necessary to mitigate the risks associated with working at heights.

So why is a fall protection plan so important?

Without a proper fall protection plan in place the consequences could be severe for both the worker and the employer, and these include:

Increased risk of injury or fatality
Legal liability implications for the employer
Workplace inspections & enforcement actions from the Department of Labour
A damaged reputation should an accident occur
Financial costs – due to injuries & damages caused
Loss of productivity – due to disruptions caused by accidents
Negative employee morale – due to an unsafe working environment

Taking all of these risks into consideration, there is no doubt that having and implementing a fall protection plan really is worth it.

So whether you work in construction, maintenance, solar installations or even window cleaning, please take the time to consider whether your working environment is truly as safe as it could be.

Custom Safety Files

Why use Kaygrant for your safety files?

We have found that each client requires their safety files to be laid out in a very specific manner. Some companies have very basic requirements for their files, while others require very detailed and specialized documentation to be present in their files. This can be a very time consuming process and sometimes despite your best efforts the file is often rejected and then sent back for further editing.

This is where we come in…

We work with you and your client to ensure that your safety files are customized according to their site specific requirements.

Our safety files are delivered to you ready to sign off and send to your client for approval.

We can also help with any SHEQ training that is needed in order to comply with your clients’ requirements.

Electrical Lock Out Kits

Why are these kits a vital asset to have on hand?

Throughout our many years working with a variety of different companies, we have found that many people take an astounding amount of shortcuts when it comes to safety.

What may seem like a quick fix or an “I’ve done this tons of times” moment, has often been the cause of serious injuries, further damage to expensive machinery and even death.

Having a customized lock out kit like this available for those inevitable situations, immediately eliminates some of these shortcuts and ensures that the proper safety tools are available to use when a machine or electrical circuit is either faulty or being maintained.

Why not make sure that your technicians have these lock out kits on hand for call outs or installations? Or add a lock out kit to your workshop or factory floor in case of a breakdown?

Did you know that Kaygrant also offers training on how to use these lock out devices? This will ensure that everyone is well equipped to carry out the best safety procedures in the event of an emergency breakdown.
