Fall Protection Equipment
In 2006 in the United States, the Statistics reported that fatal work injuries involving falls increased 5 percent in this year after a decrease in the previous year. The 809 fatal falls in 2006 was the third highest total since the year 1992.This is actually when the fatality census began taking records. Fatal falls from roofs increased from 160 fatalities in 2005 to 184 in 2006, this was a rise of 15 percent! Falls from ladders and roofs still account for the majority of falls each year. Identifying fall hazards and deciding how best to protect employees is the first step in reducing or eliminating fall hazards altogether. Occupational fatalities caaused by falls remain a serious occupation problem. The US Department says that falls as one of the leading causes of traumatic occupational death, accounting for eight percent of all occupational fatalities. Any time a worker is at a height of four feet or more, the worker is at risk and needs to have Fall Protection Equipment .The government wants fall protection to be provided at four feet in general industry. Our government follows the same stance so it is important that all your workers in your business if working at height are protected at all times. Fall Protection Equipment should never be under estimated.
