Fall Protection Safety Training Program Description In 2004, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 1,224
construction workers died on the job, with 36 percent of those
fatalities resulting from falls. Events surrounding these types
of accidents often involve a number of factors, including
unstable working surfaces, misuse of fall protection equipment,
and human error. Studies have shown that the use of guardrails,
fall arrest systems, safety nets, covers, and travel restriction
systems can prevent many deaths and injuries from falls. This
Fall Protection PowerPoint® Training Program addresses
comprehensively the issues of; evaluating potential fall
hazards, communicating information concerning these hazards, and
establishing appropriate protective measures for employees.
