Introduction to Fall Protection

Third Edition
J. Nigel Ellis, Ph.D., CSP, P.E., CPE

Introduction to Fall Protection, 3rd edition 2001

Introduction to Fall Protection has been the standard text in the field since 1988. Written around the development of fall protection in the United States it has successively documented the existing standards from around the world in the first, second and now the third edition. It is the publisher American Society of Safety Engineer's leading best seller for twelve years. Approximately 514 pages of packed information about fall protection is a must for any engineer designing structures and buildings where it is known that fall protection will require attachment to the elements and only the engineer can evaluate the effect of potentially high forces on his designs and reasonably prevent damage by planning. The textbook, that is taught in universities and is recommended reading for the Certification as a Certified Safety Professional by the BCPE, defines what a fall hazard is, how to recognize fall hazards and introduces a hierarchy of protection. The third edition, Chapter 7, is especially important for structural engineers, because of invaluable calculations showing fall protection engineering has finally come of age. Several structural engineering consulting firms have built niche markets recognizing the need to provide services in this field. Until your engineer has his own copy of this new 3rd edition information-packed text, you should mark your drawings "unsuitable for fall protection anchorages" to protect against foreseeable use that is unsuitable. This book helps bring the Competent Person and Qualified Person in Fall Protection together to work as a team. Call now at 1 800 372 7775 to place your order or order online.
