Full Description

When working with both feet on the ground it is still possible to obtain injuries by slipping, tripping and falling; anything above ground level is going to bring intrinsic risks. Per OSHA regulations, “Fall protection must be provided at four feet in general industry, five feet in maritime and six feet in construction.”

Because this distance does not seem very high workers often do not realize the true danger of fall hazards. It’s easy to picture the dangers of falling when you are working several stories off the ground but maybe not so much when the height is not as tall as you are. A fall from this height can still result in serious injury; therefore well planned and executed safety measures should be taken no matter what the height. Employers have a lawful duty to keep their workers safe in every workplace. There are rules for all types of busi-nesses.
Here the discussion analyzes fall protection and fall prevention types – what excels in certain scenarios as well as the disadvantages of some fall protection.
