Fall Protection

Fall Protection for Automotive Mechanics

Fall protection is essential for automotive mechanics to stay safe on the job. There are a variety of fall protection tools available, each designed to protect mechanics from different types of falls.

Harnesses

Harnesses are the most common type of fall protection for automotive mechanics. They are worn around the waist and chest, and are attached to a secure anchor point. If a mechanic falls, the harness will prevent them from hitting the ground.

Lanyards

Lanyards are another type of fall protection that can be used by automotive mechanics. Lanyards are attached to a mechanic's belt or harness, and they provide a measure of protection against falls from a short distance.

Straps

Straps are a type of fall protection that can be used to secure a mechanic to a work surface. Straps are often used when working on vehicles that are raised in the air.

Guardrails

Guardrails are a type of fall protection that can be used to create a safe work zone. Guardrails are typically installed around work areas where there is a risk of falling.

Safety Nets

Safety nets are a type of fall protection that can be used to catch a mechanic if they fall. Safety nets are typically installed in areas where there is a high risk of a serious fall.
