Falls are the second leading cause of death each year in the United States (after traffic accidents)! Over 10,000 people are killed every year as a result of falls...and 200,000 to 300,000 people are disabled. Eight-five percent of all falls that occur on the job result in "lost work time."
MARCOM's training products on "Fall Protection In Construction Environments" provide the information employees need to work safely when they are "off the ground", and assist in satisfying the major training requirements in the OSHA Standard on Fall Protection. Topics covered in these products include:
- The consequences of falls in the workplace.
- Hazardous work environments.
- The safety "mindset".
- Designing fall hazards out of the workplace.
- Proper housekeeping techniques.
- Protective measures.
- Protective equipment.
- and more.
The DVD versions of the programs are divided into 2-3 minute "chapters", so the programs can be shown in their entirety in a single session, or individual chapters can be used as the basis for a number of 10-15 minute "Tailgate Meetings" or "Toolbox Talks."
