Preventing Falls: Keeping Workers Safe & Cal/OSHA Compliant

AIR DATE:

9:00 AM Pacific Time

Falls from heights are one of the most common accidents in the workplace and are the leading cause of construction worker fatalities. As a result, fall protection in construction was the top-cited OSHA standard in 2022. Injuries from falls affect not only a worker’s physical abilities but can have lasting emotional and financial effects not only on the worker, but their family, coworkers, and the company’s operations. 

This webinar is led by experts from Cal/OSHA and State Fund, who will walk you through everything you need to know about fall hazards, current regulations, proposed changes, and how best to protect your workers.

We will cover

  • The current and proposed trigger heights for different trades
  • Identifying common fall hazards from specific trades
  • How to properly identify the fall risks at your workplace
  • How to plan and train for those risks and provide the appropriate equipment
  • The annual National Safety Stand-Down event which educates employees in fall and other job hazards and how you can organize your own event
  • How you can effectively implement fall protection at your workplace
  • And much more…
