It is unfortunate that the need for training to avoid falls is talked about as much as the incidents themselves. But why, and why so often? Because the hazard is commonplace in construction - at height (from scaffolds, ladders, roofs) and on ground (from slips and trips on uneven surfaces). The resulting injuries are usually severe, but entirely preventable with a safety program that involves risk assessment, personal equipment, and protective systems.
Target Audience: This Awareness-Level training is ideal for employees and employers in high-hazard industries, especially those with high fatality rates, and in small businesses that face barriers to occupational safety and health training.
