An example of a passive fall protection system is a guardrail system. Other examples include safety nets, covers for openings, handrails, toe boards, barricades, skylight guards, and warning lines. Passive fall protection systems provide physical barriers or safety measures that prevent falls without requiring active participation from the worker, such as wearing equipment or taking specific actions to engage the system. Guardrails are among the most common and effective passive fall protection devices, designed to withstand impact and prevent workers from falling over edges or platforms.
