A small digression: this is termed the STOP application principle. This too is part of industrial safety: where the danger cannot be eliminated, it must at least be minimised. Although the fall itself cannot be prevented completely, its life-threatening consequences can be reduced by using the correct means and measures. For this reason, the implementation of safety measures is imperative when working in fall-risk areas. However attentive the person is, there is always a risk of slipping or taking an ill-considered step. However, falls cannot be prevented 100 %. This ensures a high level of industrial protection. If personal protective equipment (PPE) is in use, then the user must also possess special knowledge obtained from PPE training. For this, suitable fall protection is a legal obligation. In the context of fall protection, the following applies to industrial safety: A fall from a height of 2 metres endangers life and limb.
