Question

Accepted Answer

Safety belts are enforced in construction at height to prevent falls and reduce the risk of serious injuries or fatalities.

Safety belts provide a means of restraint and protection for workers working at heights.
They help to prevent falls and reduce the impact of falls by distributing the force of the fall across the body.
Safety belts are designed to be securely attached to a fixed anchor point, such as a harness or a lifeline.
They allow workers to have both hands free to perform tasks while maintaining a secure position.
Wearing safety belts is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions to ensure the safety of workers.
Examples of safety belts include full-body harnesses, lanyards, and lifelines.
