PROPOSED revisions to the existing AS/NZS 1891.4, relating to the Selection, Use and Maintenance of industrial fall protection equipment, are currently out as a Draft for Comment. These changes provide essential clarification that workers need to use fall arrest, rather than restraint, equipment in each and every situation where there is a risk of a fall. The Fall Prevention Manufacturers Association (FPMA) fully supports the application of the Standards as providing clarification to both manufacturers and users. FPMA's chairman, Michael Biddle, says the Standard is regarded as mandating the highest manufacturing and user standards in the world.
