Query to EDI HS Forum – SM-EI Requirements for PFAS
Hi everyone,
Following the recent EDI H&S Forum, MainPower is seeking information on the approach being taken by other EDBs and EDB contractors to meet the SM-EI requirements relating to Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS).
Specifically, we are interested in how organisations are addressing the PFAS requirement for additional controls where a work positioning system is intended to support a worker’s weight.
It appears that many early adopters of this SM-EI requirement have implemented PFAS arrangements incorporating a secondary fall protection system. Examples include:
<ul type=”disc”>
- A PFAS harness with
double D-rings used in conjunction with an independent webbing strap and rope;
or- A PFAS harness with
double D-rings used with two independent, differently coloured ropes.We would appreciate understanding what solutions have been adopted, including the make and model of any PFAS harnesses with double D-rings currently in use.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Your insights and experience are greatly appreciated.
Have a great weekend.
Kind regards,
Stephen Albrecht
