Query to EDI HS Forum – SM-EI Requirements for PFAS

  • Query to EDI HS Forum – SM-EI Requirements for PFAS

    Posted by Stephen Albrecht on 11 September 2026 at 6:16 pm

    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
