Anchor points and fall arrest, mast work

A mast has no floor to step onto. Everything is decided at the point where the line is fixed.

Falls from height 15–25 min per run

On a mast there is nothing to step onto.

Climbing a mast is repetitive work, and repetition is what makes someone move one clip before the next one is on. It happens near the top, when the weather is turning and everybody wants to be down.

This one is for line crews and for the supervisors who plan their day. It goes through the transitions: passing a bracket, changing levels, and coming down with a colleague who cannot climb any more.

What a team does in it

One run, three parts. A team can go back to any of them as often as it needs, and most do.

  1. 1

    Plan the climb on the ground

    A team works out where the clip changes, what the weather is doing, and who stays below to watch.

  2. 2

    Never be free

    They go through passing an obstruction with one line always attached, until the order of hands is automatic.

  3. 3

    Bring someone down

    A colleague is hanging above the bracket and cannot help themselves. The team works the rescue against the clock.

Next to it in the same cluster

Teams that meet this hazard usually meet the others on the same shift. The cluster page Falls from height holds all of them together.

Take one mast from your list and climb it with us.

Bring the part of your assessment that names work on masts. We pick one and go through the training start to finish.

What happens in the demo

  1. You pick the hazard From your own risk assessment, not from a demo script.
  2. We go through the training Start to finish, the same version your people would get.
  3. We look at your site Who would run it, on which shifts, and what a first group needs.
