Work with masts

Working on masts and towers requires equipment and strict safety measures to minimise the risk of falling. At Personligt Fallskydd, we have extensive experience in risk analysis and a wide range of fall protection equipment for mast work. We also offer mast training for those who are new to the job.

Requirements for mast work

According to the mast regulations, it is forbidden to work on masts and towers alone. At least two people must be present at all times to ensure safety and enable rescue operations if necessary. Anyone carrying out mast work needs mast training, which leads to a mast certificate.

Many masts and towers are equipped with ladderways that have a fall protection system in the form of a wire or rail. This system is connected with a slide lock so that you as a worker can lock the system immediately in case of a fall. If there is no in-built fall protection, you can use a double fall arrest line with safety hooks for safe climbing.

The requirements for carrying out mast work are

  • Education and training: To be authorised to work on masts, you need mast training, which will give you a mast certificate as a proof of your competence.
  • Health check: Before carrying out mast work, you will need to undergo a health check to ensure that you are physically and mentally fit.

Rescue in mast work

When working in environments with a fall risk, it is crucial to have a clear rescue plan, appropriate rescue equipment and staff with relevant training in place. This combination of measures ensures an effective and safe management of potential accidents. At Personligt Fallskydd, we have extensive experience in equipping and training customers working in fall risk environments.
