A fall prevention system (FPS) that is placed adjacent a multi-level structure such as a frame building, that is being constructed. The FPS has a lower anchor, at least one vertical member, at least one connecting member and an upper member with or without a horizontal section. The number of vertical members utilized depends on the number of levels the structure has. The vertical members are preferably made of metal and are dimensioned to correspond to either the height of a single structure level, or the height of another structure locations such as a peaked roof. The FPS is secured to the ground surface by bolts inserted through the anchor, and at least one securing cable that is attached to cable securing means on the FPS and to a location on the structure. An individual working on the structure wears a harness to which is secured one end of a harness cable. The other end of the harness cable is attached to the cable securing means on the FPS. If the individual is about to fall from the structure, the harness cable locks, thereby stopping the fall occurring.
