These solutions are particularly reliable as they do not require any active contribution from employees. However, they must be checked regularly to ensure that they are in good working order.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <strong> Personal fall protection systems (PPE):<\/strong> Personal fall protection systems are used in areas where permanently installed safety devices are not possible. These include safety harnesses, safety belts and anchorage devices. However, such systems require regular training and <strong><span style=\"color: #0069b4;\"><a style=\"color: #0069b4;\" href=\"https:\/\/lux-top-absturzsicherungen.de\/en\/assembly-maintenance\/maintenance-inspection\/\">maintenance<\/a><\/span><\/strong>so that they function reliably in an emergency. Employees must learn how to put on this equipment correctly and check the safety mechanisms.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <strong> Access restrictions:<\/strong> A simple but often underestimated measure is to clearly restrict access to dangerous areas. Signage and barriers can prevent unauthorized persons from entering fall edges unsecured. Especially on construction sites or during maintenance work, these restrictions should be strictly adhered to in order to prevent accidents.\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <strong> Regular training<\/strong>: Employees who work on roofs or in areas where there is a risk of falling should receive regular training in the safe use of fall protection systems. This promotes awareness of hazards and minimizes the risk of accidents. Training should not only teach employees how to wear protective equipment correctly, but also how to behave in dangerous situations.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b43a33f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b43a33f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f903b52\" data-id=\"f903b52\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-448bc1f global-spacer-module elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"448bc1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bde71ea elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bde71ea\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd6379a\" data-id=\"bd6379a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b2cd350 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b2cd350\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80e3feb\" data-id=\"80e3feb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-295eeb1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"295eeb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion: Safety has top priority<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09be290 global-spacer-module heading-space elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"09be290\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce3f9a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce3f9a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falling edges are one of the most common sources of danger on construction sites, roofs and other high-altitude workplaces.
