About Fall Protection

Falls can be a big risk when working anywhere above the ground. One small mistake, one moment of inattention, and someone or something can come crashing down.

Every year over 10,000 people are killed and over 200,000 are disabled as a result of falls.

Falls are the third leading cause of work-related fatalities. And 85% of all falls that occur on the job result in lost time.

With these kind of dangers, it is easy to see why using fall protection measures on a worksite can save lives and money.

In fact, OSHA has mandated training for fall prevention in many work environments.

All employees who work above the ground need to learn what they can do to make their workplace safer and minimize the risks of falls occurring.
