Each year in the construction industry an average of over 350 workers fall to their death on American jobsites and more than 50,000 sustain an injury that requires them to miss at least one day of work. Fall injuries often result in injuries that cause permanent disabilities such as back pain, paralysis and brain damage. For that reason, OSHA’s fall protection standard deals with both human and equipment related issues for protecting workers from fall hazards. This training will cover systems and procedures designed to prevent falls off, onto or through working levels and to protect workers from being struck by falling objects.
