Power Generation Fall Protection.

Power generation plants present several occupational hazards to workers during routine work activities. In many power generation facilities falls are a prevalent hazard for workers and are among the most common causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths. Power industry employees can be at risk from falling off overhead platforms and elevated workstations, tripping over exposed wires, or slipping on slick surfaces.

When workers are required to work from heights, their employer must provide them with proper safety gear to prevent falls and to protect them if they do encounter a hazardous situation. Personal fall-arrest systems and personal protective equipment should be worn at all times, even when the perceived risk is small.
