Fall protection is a complicated issue and one of the most important
faced by an employer or worksite supervisor. With over 100,000
reported incidents per year, falls from heights almost always result
in serious injury.
In the construction industry, falls are the number one cause of
worker death. In any industry, not having fall protection can have
serious consequences.
When it comes to fall protection, there is no margin for error. Every
day, workers risk their lives to accomplish elevated tasks that are
essential to the development and operation of our world. From
1992-2000 there were over 3,400 deaths due to falls from heights.
The key to effective fall protection training is practical, hands-on
experience. At the end of the session, you will be able to:
1. Discuss the causes of falls and when fall protection is
required: why the OSHA Standard at 4 feet, 6 feet, or 15 feet.
2. Identify categories of fall protection.
3. Determine how to select fall protection, anchorage, body
support, and connectors.
You’ll also enjoy the experience of our hands-on demonstrations
when DBI/SALA’s mobile demonstration vehicles show drop-tests
and force measuring instruments to demonstrate arresting forces
workers would experience during a fall.
