Fall are the #1 cause of death in the construction industry, by far (39% according to OSHA). It is also the #2 cause of occupational deaths overall (16%), trailing transportation incidents. Notably, falls from relatively low drops can be fatal, and it is easy to underestimate the potential hazard.
This session will cover the broad scope of fall hazard issues and strategies to approach work at height in a manner that reduces risks. We will review the impact of falls from elevation and the same level, as well as some portable tools available for working at height. We will also discuss strategies to implement efficient fall prevention systems and effective fall protection equipment.
Bring your own agenda! Please plan to share any specific points you’d like to discuss either beforehand by email or at the start of the live webinar. Plan accordingly to keep your phone line open throughout the call and share your thoughts and questions.
