Fall Protection in Industrial and Construction Environments

This Interactive course on Fall Protection in Industrial and Construction Environments discusses the fall hazards that can be encountered in a workplace and what employees can do to avoid them. Anywhere that employees walk or work, whether they’re on a shop floor or office carpeting, a scaffold, a catwalk, a fixed ladder or flight of stairs, employees can fall. Workplace falls cause almost 20% of all disabling occupational injuries, and thousands of fatalities every year. But they don’t have to happen. Areas covered in the course include preventing slips, trips and falls, edges, openings and guarding, using portable and fixed ladders, working safely on scaffolding, personal fall protection and more.
