    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of the access-ladder fall protection to prevent falls

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) The gantry was accessible by means of a fixed ladder. At the top of the ladder, fall protection is provided by a single cable which is set at a height well below 1 metre. It provides a pivot for a fall, rather than fall prevention. ”
