When you hear the phrase “fall protection”, your mind probably gravitates towards the highest points in your facility. For some, this location is the rooftop or a shop crane rail while others may have a mental picture of a tall piece of equipment or an elevated work station.

This post strays a bit from our typical Tech Talk fare, exploring how we apply our knowledge of fall protection to protect miners working hundreds and even thousands of feet beneath the earth’s surface.
