A construction site is an ever-changing workplace, a workplace full of hazards that can hurt us, make us ill, or kill us. Controlling these hazards and keeping construction workers safe is the point of a safety and health program. One such hazard is the risk of falling. Whether it’s a same-level fall caused by a slip or trip, or a fall to a lower level, all too often the result is a significant injury or fatality. When construction supervisors and workers are able to recognize, correct, and prevent fall hazards, fall-related injuries and fatalities can be prevented.
This program highlights fall hazards that can be found in construction work and ways to avoid these hazards. Topics include:
- Worksite housekeeping
- Floor hole and guardrail requirements
