The 'ABC's' of Fall Protection stands for_________

The ABCs of Fall Protection are Anchor, Body Harness, and Connector. Each piece plays a crucial role in a safe fall-arrest system. The anchor is the solid point attached to a structure that bears the load if a fall occurs. The body harness is worn by the worker and distributes the fall forces across the body in a safe way, preventing injury. The connector links the harness to the anchor and is typically a lanyard, deceleration device, or lifeline—rated and compatible with both the harness and the anchor. Choosing a belt instead of a proper body harness is not appropriate for fall protection because belts don’t distribute forces correctly and aren’t approved for fall-arrest use. The other terms in the options aren’t part of the standard components of a fall-protection setup.
