Coming from the industrial roofing industry, fall protection has always held a special place in my heart. It has saved my life and my coworkers, on numerous occasions. My gratitude has an even more profound reality, since my company is family owned and my co-workers are my family. Fall protection keeps an innocent misstep or an error in foot placement from becoming a fatality or serious injury. Over the years, I have noticed an unsettling complacency and lack of knowledge to the importance of fall protection from many crafts working at heights around us. The number one occurrence reported in OSHA’s inspections is a lack or misuse of proper fall protection. Language barriers also play a large part in the lack of knowledge regarding important safety procedures.
