According to the National Safety Council, over 6,000 people die from falls each year caused by such factors as falling off roofs and ladders. Therefore, OSHA requires fall protection for workers on surfaces over six feet off the ground that do not have protection along the surface edges. During training we will discuss the different hazards associated with working on a roof and the behaviors that could result in personal injury, disability, death, or property damage. We will then review several fall-protection systems available to prevent these types of falls.
