Why is leading edge unique or different?

• Typical anchor point for LE work is at foot level (fall protection equipment needs to be rated for this type of anchorage location)

• Increased fall distance (fall clearance requirement increases)

• Increased arresting forces (higher loads on the person and equipment)

• Potential for exposure to sharp edges causing cut or severe damage the lifeline

Standard fall protection products are rated neither for the added fall distance and loading, nor the sharp edge hazard.

Leading Edge SLRs

LE/SE SLRs are tested:

a) with higher weight.

b) over a sharp edge.

c) with offset angle to induce sliding on the edge.

d) to confirm no slack can develop.

LE/SE SLRs will include:

a) markings on the device and

instructions about leading

edge work.

b) a non-separable energy

absorber.

‘LEADING EDGE’ FALL PROTECTION

a) The test weight is increased by roughly 30% to 282 pounds (128kg).

b) The test edge material is very sharp metal with an edge radius of .005 inches (.13mm) or less.

c) An energy absorber is required and must not be separable from the SRD device or lifeline.

d) Testing is expanded to include “offset” testing that tests sliding of the lifeline along the edge.

e) Specific testing includes a check on retraction when used horizontally to confirm no slack can develop.

f) Markings on the device and use instructions have been expanded to provide advice to equipment users about leading edge work.

Before beginning any work where workers

will be exposed to a fall hazard, the following

hierarchy should be applied during the

planning process.

Only if the exposure can’t be eliminated or

engineered out, should fall protection PPE be

utilized, striving to make an overhead

anchorage point available for the workers

use.

The last resort should be a foot level

anchorage point for fall protection, utilizing

the proper Leading Edge/Sharp Edge fall

protection Lanyards and full body harnesses.

Events

“Nobody Gets Hurt” means just that — no incidents and

no injuries, no matter how seemingly minor. We all have

family and friends who care about us and want us to stay

safe at work.

We also care about our coworkers and take seriously our

responsibility to keep each other safe on the job. No

matter what job you do, “Nobody Gets Hurt” applies to you.

Embrace it; promote it; live by it. Nothing is more

important.

NSC Breakfast Series | A Case Study: Kiewit | January 2019 14

NOBODY GETS HURT

All Managers and Supervisors…

• Are responsible for safety

• Must be actively, openly committed

• Demonstrate level of commitment through actions (not just words)

• Are responsible for creating a “do the right thing, every time”

culture

NSC Breakfast Series | A Case Study: Kiewit | January 2019 15

NOBODY GETS HURT:MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT

All Employees…

• Are responsible for safety – for themselves and their coworkers

• Must be passionate about safety

• Demonstrate engagement by ensuring safe operations

• Are authorized – and expected – to speak up when witnessing

unsafe actions, behaviors or conditions

NSC Breakfast Series | A Case Study: Kiewit | January 2019 16

NOBODY GETS HURT:EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Our Tools…

• Empower employees to be engaged

• Are proven to prevent incidents (i.e., safety training, observation programs,

job hazard analysis, etc.)

• Are used to their full extent – enabling employees to be successful

1. Employees are actively engaged in and ‘own’ safety

2. The culture supports interdependence, or ‘actively caring’

people are rewarded accordingly

Craft Voice in Safety (CVIS):• Still work on the tools with dedicated time

to the CVIS committee; and

• Report directly to project management.

Craft Safety Advisor (CSA):• Do not work on the tools;

• Are full time craft advisors (ambassadors);

• Report to safety team or management;

• Spend time in the field with crews reviewing

JHA’s and advising our workers on safe

work practices; and

• Do not have to be a part of CVIS committee.

A Diamond Event is:

An event that occurs where the results, if not for luck, could have resulted in a loss of life or limb.

Mining the Diamond is:

Focusing on the potential outcome of an incident or event instead of the actual outcome when determining the resources

allocated to react to and prevent those incidents and events.

Diamond Categories are:

Similar incidents with common contributing factors that have a high likelihood of producing serious outcomes are grouped into

Diamond Categories in order to proactively prevent their occurrence.

Inside the DiamondWe must maximize learning

for incidents inside the diamond:

• Perform in-depth root cause analysis

• Perform in-depth trend analysis

• Identify focus areas

Outside the DiamondWhat should we do with the data outside the

• Perform fit-for-purpose depth of root cause analysis

• Use data to help identify corrective actions

• Steward overall metrics for predictive trends
