Fall Protection Plan
Fall protection plans
Wherever someone can fall, the law needs a written plan. We write it for your site and train the people who work to it.
In short
A fall protection plan is the written, site-specific plan the Construction Regulations 2014 require wherever people work at height and could fall. It sets out the fall risks, the protection used, rescue procedures and the training of the people involved. Siyakhatala Safety prepares fall protection plans for sites across the Western Cape and runs accredited working-at-heights training.
What's included
- Fall risks identified for each task and area
- Edge protection, guardrails, nets or harnesses, chosen per risk
- Rescue plan for a worker who has fallen
- Inspection of fall protection equipment
- Working-at-heights training records for every worker
A generic plan copied from another site does not protect anyone and will not survive an inspection. We visit the site, write the plan around the actual work, and check that what is on paper is what is on site during every audit.
