Should Fall Protection Be Engineered?
Thursday, November 14, 2024
12 p.m. Central
Fall protection hazards can be difficult to mitigate, and solutions are often underestimated. It is easy to become complacent or apathetic to the hazards on your site and the budgetary constraints to solve them. The ANSI fall protection code provides program management guidance and through patient persistence, you can develop the business case to implement the solutions needed to abate your hazards for the long term.
In this webinar, participants will gain a better understanding of a complete fall protection program as described in the ANSI/ASSP Z359 Fall Protection Code.
We’ll go beyond PPE selection and discuss:
• Policies and procedures
• Duties and responsibilities
• Training requirements
• Hazard Assessment and Mitigation
• Rescue
• Incident investigation
