- Description
- Falls are the leading cause of work-related deaths in construction accounting for more than a third of all fatalities. It is important to create awareness among construction workers regarding the use of fall protection equipment, and how to ensure they have the appropriate systems in place to stay safe on the job. Workers should be trained on how to use the equipment and how to ensure appropriate fit. Dr. Scott Earnest, Associate Director of the NIOSH Construction Office and Co-Chair of the NORA Construction Sector Council, discusses how ‘Prevention through Design” can help reduce falls in construction as well as in other industries. Prevention through design is one of the best way to prevent and control occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities by ‘designing out’ or minimizing hazards and risks.
