What is NS 9610?

NS 9610 is a Norwegian standard developed by Standard Norge that deals with fall protection. It provides clear guidelines and requirements for the design, use, and maintenance of fall protection equipment, systems, and procedures. The goal of the standard is to reduce the risk of fall accidents and protect workers performing tasks at heights, such as construction workers, maintenance workers, and rescue personnel.

Why is NS 9610 important?

The new standard primarily aims to reduce the risk of fall accidents. Fall accidents are among the most serious incidents in a workplace and still occur many times throughout the year. This standard contributes to promoting a culture of safety in the workplace and ensures that organizations comply with legal requirements.

Safety Culture and Training

NS 9610 also includes requirements for training and competence for those using fall protection equipment. This promotes a safety culture in the workplace by ensuring that everyone working at heights has the necessary knowledge of how to use the equipment correctly. Good, practical training and clear procedures are key to preventing fall accidents.

How can the standard help your company?

By implementing the guidelines in NS 9610, companies can improve workplace safety while maintaining or increasing productivity. Safe employees are more efficient and can work at heights with greater confidence and focus on their tasks.
