7. Why people fall off ladders † Why Fall Control? After years in the field with customers and safety experts, we knew what had to happen. Simple A system to ensure the height worker is safe while ascending, descending or accidental fall, slip or medical issue. BOX RAIL rung joining system provides unparalleled performance in strength and stability, dramatically reduces twist and sway by up to 40%. WORK POSITIONING HOOK, RUNG EYELETS and HARNESS ensure adequate anchoring to the ladder structure. TERRAINMASTER™ ensures a stable footing and eliminates sideways movement. The INNOVATIVE DESCENDER allows the user to replace themselves back on the ladder. GROUND BASED RESCUE system allows a passerby to rescue the height technician in an emergency. TETHERS that can be bolted into the ground or structure. This ensures the ladder is securely fixed. In addition, our  NON-SLIP RUNGS  help reduce foot slips. Failure Mode 1 STABILITY FAILURE – Movement of the ladder. Base slip, movement of the top of the ladder and sideways tipping. Failure Mode 2 USER ERROR – Incorrect use of the Ladder. Foot missed/slipped, user lost balance and overreaching. The design and unique construction of our award winning system addresses the two most common ladder failure modes. †Source Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety – Center for Injury Epidemiology (CIE) From Research to Reality - Volume 15 | Number 3 | Winter 2012 The elements of the Branach Fall Control address: STRENGTH required to arrest the user. STABILITY required to remain upright during a fall event. ANCHORING mechanism to ensure the user does not separate from the ladder structure. RESCUE so the height worker can be safely lowered down by someone on the ground.
