A Tragic Reality: Most Accidents Are Preventable
Fall accidents are often preventable. Construction site managers, supervisors and workers must adhere to detailed safety rules and regulations established by OSHA. Many of these rules are designed to minimize fall hazards. Depending on the circumstances, multiple types of safety devices and fall arrest measures may be required, including:
- Safety harnesses
- Lifeline systems
- Safety nets
- Shock absorbers
- Railings
This equipment must be properly inspected and maintained to ensure that it functions properly, and workers must be adequately trained in how to safely use the equipment.
In some cases, the source of the accident may spring from the equipment itself. Defective ladders, scaffolding, railings, safety harnesses and stairways can lead to tragic injuries or fatalities.
