Fall protection

Fall protection refers to the use of controls designed to prevent personnel from falling or, if a fall occurs, to stop it without causing severe injury. Falls are one of the most leading causes for work-related injuries and deaths. While fall protection is typically associated when working at height, it is also relevant when working near edges, such as near a pit or hole, or steep surfaces. Many of these incidents are preventable when proper precautions are taken, making fall protection training not only critical, but also required.
