Picture This: Walking the Plank – Without Fall Protection

Ingenuity at its finest or accident waiting to happen? In addition to the obvious lack of fall protection and precarious position this worker is in, the walking space on the plank is limited and awkward which makes any movement dangerous. Reach back for the hammer, lose balance, slam into the stair guardrails on the way to concrete floor below. Traumatic brain injury, broken back, multiple fractures? Maybe all three. That’s if he’s “lucky” enough to survive the fall.

Put a Safe Foot Forward

Slips, trips and falls are among the leading causes of workplace injuries. They occur when housekeeping procedures aren’t followed and enforced, when you rush or fail to pay attention to what you’re doing and where you’re walking, when you don’t wear the right kind of footwear, and when stairways, parking lots, and other walking and working surfaces aren’t well-maintained.

Falls Through Floor and Wall opening

It takes a split-second of inattention, a slight change in working conditions, a forgetful co-worker, or a lax safety program for you to fall through an opening.

Stopping Slips, Trips, and Falls

Slip, trip, and fall injuries are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries and death. The falls from slips and trips can lead to disabling injuries, traumatic brain injuries, surgeries, and countless hours in rehab. These types of injuries are painful and costly and can put stress on your relationships, lead to depression, anxiety, and in some cases post-traumatic stress disorder, or PSTD.
