Fall protection tips for residential construction workers

摘要

Washington - OSHA has issued a guidance document on fall protection in residential construction. Released April 8, the document provides safety methods for employers to prevent fall-related injuries and deaths, including fall arrest systems, safety net systems, guardrails, ladders and scaffolds. "Fatalities from fails are the No. 1 cause of workplace deaths in construction," OSHA administrator David Michaels said in a press release. "We cannot tolerate workers getting killed in residential construction when effective means are readily available to prevent those deaths."
