In an effort to better protect workers in general industry workplaces, OSHA recently updated the standards specific to slip, trip and fall hazards. Falls are the most common cause of serious workplace injuries and account for 15 percent of all workplace fatalities. The stakes are high for workers. In addition to the potential human cost, these accidents cost employers in down time, work comp claims and fines if you aren't following OSHA's rules.

Why Should You Attend:

Fall Protection is one of the "Focus 4" Compliance Efforts from OSHA. Having the right Fall Protection working in General Industry and Construction is critical to protect workers from injuries and fatalities. A workplace fall can have a devastating impact on any organization. Not only our workers and their families impacted by a significant workplace fall injury or illness, but companies have to spend a lot of money in paying workers compensation premiums. In addition, a significant workplace injury or illness can open up an organization to increased scrutiny by OSHA leading to monetary fines and workplace citations being issued. If a workplace fall fatality occurs, in addition to OSHA fines, employees can have criminal charges filed and end up in jail.

Site specific Fall Protection question and answers will be answered and addressed.
