Worker protection and the preservation of their lives and well-being are fundamental in the construction industry. The inherent challenges of working at heights make falls from elevated areas a primary cause of severe and fatal accidents. Consequently, this study aims to significantly contribute to occupational safety in the construction sector by providing solid and supported knowledge on how the implementation of fall detection systems influences the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of construction workers. This research seeks to promote safer work environments and reduce the incidence of accidents during elevated tasks. Given that falls from heights represent a large proportion of accidents, this research aimed to determine the relationship between the use of fall protection systems and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of workers when working at height on structures in the Huánuco province. Surveys and questionnaires were employed as data collection tools among workers from four construction companies, and the results are presented using tables and bar graphs. The adopted study design methodology is non-experimental, observational, descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional. The results revealed statistically significant evidence of the relationship between workers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices and the use of fall arrest systems, with a p-value = 0.000, below the conventional significance level of 0.05, and a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.971, indicating a strong positive correlation. Regarding knowledge, 42% of the workers are familiar with the fall arrest system, while the remainder are not. In terms of attitudes, 41% show a favorable attitude towards the system, while the rest oppose its use. Finally, in terms of practices, 42% lack knowledge or have not expressed a clear opinion on the practices related to the use of this safety system. It can be concluded that there is a correlation between the implementation of fall arrest systems in elevated structure tasks and the influence this has on the level of attitudes, knowledge, and practices of construction workers in the Province of Huánuco.
