👉 Fall engineering refers to the scientific and technical discipline focused on understanding, predicting, and mitigating the risks associated with falls in various environments, particularly in construction, industrial settings, and public spaces. It involves the application of principles from physics, materials science, and biomechanics to analyze factors such as fall height, surface friction, impact forces, and structural integrity. Engineers use this knowledge to design safety systems like guardrails, harnesses, and personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as to develop guidelines and regulations for fall protection. By assessing potential hazards and implementing effective countermeasures, fall engineering aims to significantly reduce the incidence of falls and their associated injuries or fatalities.
