LIFELINES AND ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS

Falls from heights (FFH) are one of the largest causes of serious and fatal injury in the Hong Kong construction. Thus it is essential that robust measures are implemented to protect workers from the risks of falling.

This guide has been developed in order to help employers and workers who are working at heights to have a better understanding of the importance of the correct installation of anchorage points, lifelines and temporary edge protection as a means of fall prevention.
