| Abstract |
Falls from heights still represent the most frequent cause of fatal accidents on construction sites. While collective protective measures must be favoured whenever possible, personal protective measures are needed on construction sites where access is difficult. This article describes the design of fall-arresting harnesses and their selection as a function of the various tasks to be undertaken. |
