Working at height can be dangerous, and understanding what gear you need to ensure your safety might seem complicated at first glance. In today's Gear Up With Gregg's, we're going to break down the essentials of the different fall protection systems, walking you through what each element of a fall protection system means: from anchors to full body harnesses, and from descent and rescue techniques to OSHA requirements. Ever wonder how much of a difference a shock-absorbing lanyard makes vs a position-restricting lanyard in the event of a fall arrest? Find out in this video, where we demonstrate why understanding fall protection is so important!
