Work at high heights – Fall protection

Falling accidents are one of the most common types of workplace accidents, and especially in the construction industry there are major gaps in knowledge about safety, safety equipment and risk assessment when working at height. Did you know that among the most common causes of fatal accidents in the construction industry are falls to a lower level? Or that insufficient training can mean penalty fees at the Work Environment Agency? Worksecure, you get the knowledge you need exactly when you need it.

What is included in the training?

The training requires no prior knowledge and does not include any internship. All participants read the knowledge themselves online, completely at their own pace and when it suits them best. The goal is to provide a practical and useful understanding of the rules and regulations that apply when working at high altitudes. The training covers what equipment is required, how it should be handled and what different types of work at high altitude require for different types of equipment. You will learn about preparation, risk assessment, anchoring, securing and how you can use the regulations practically. When you have passed the training test, you immediately receive a first certificate of approved course via e-mail. Your educational certificate will be sent to you by post.
In Sweden, there are several laws regulating fall protection depending on the type of work performed and where it takes place. Here are some examples: The Work Environment Act requires employers to protect employees from risks that may cause accidents, including falls. Employers must assess risks and take measures to minimize them. Work performed at heights is regulated in Sweden under AFS 2001:1, which is the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s regulation on the ”Use of Personal Protective Equipment.” This regulation sets requirements for fall protection measures and defines the height levels where fall protection is mandatory.
If you are working at heights exceeding 4 meters (for example, on a ladder, scaffolding, or aerial lift), or if you are working above 2 meters with a risk of falling, you must use personal fall protection equipment to prevent fall injuries. This applies even if you are moving between multiple steps and the total height exceeds 4 meters. It is important to note that fall protection is also required for ladders used as stairways since stair railings do not provide adequate fall protection. This requirement exists to ensure a safe working environment and prevent accidents in the workplace. Falls from heights can cause serious injuries or even be fatal. That’s why it is essential for all workers operating at heights to have the right equipment and proper training to use it correctly.
A fall protection certification is typically valid for three years. After this period, a refresher course is required to maintain up-to-date knowledge and a valid certificate. It is important to verify with the specific training provider regarding their validity periods and requirements.
Fall protection is required when there is a risk of workers falling from the roof and getting injured. It is typically necessary when working on roofs that are higher than two meters, or when performing maintenance or repairs. Occupations such as roofers, cleaners, and maintenance personnel often require fall protection to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure their health and safety.
Personal fall protection must be used whenever there is a risk of falling from heights, such as from platforms, buildings, ladders, or roofs. It is crucial to use personal fall protection to reduce the risk of serious injuries or fatalities caused by falls. Personal fall protection includes equipment such as safety harnesses, fall protection lanyards, and shock-absorbing fall arrest systems.

Who needs to take an online fall protection course?

This course is aimed at you who need to use fall protection equipment in your work, and who carry out work on roofs, high heights where there is a risk of falling or if you have fall protection equipment in a mobile elevated work platform, i.e. MEWP. Even as a supervisor, you should have knowledge of fall protection.

What does the law say about fall protection?

​​​​​​​As of January 2015, professional work at heights without a certificate of competence in fall protection means penalty fees for employers. The rules apply from a height of two metres. This means, for example, that professional work with snow removal, roofing, installation of solar cells or other assignments where work must be carried out at a height of more than two meters requires competence in fall protection. As a private person, you are not required to have knowledge in fall protection, but with a simple online training you have knowledge that can save lives.

When is fall protection training required?

​​​​​​​The principle is that all professional and professional work at heights greater than two meters must be done by professionals who have training in fall protection. It also means that personal safety equipment or that guard rails and other fall protection must be used.
Today, many people believe that any type of rope or harness can serve as adequate personal protection. But even at low heights, major injuries and serious accidents can become a reality if a person becomes dangling after a fall.

Do you know what can happen if a person is left hanging after a fall? If a person becomes suspended in a harness, the blood supply in the veins can be stopped, thereby risking that the heart and brain receive too little oxygen. It is a trap that involves severe injuries and a high risk of death.
