Fall Hazard Analysis

As a safety director, there is enormous pressure to keep your work force safe and operating at maximum efficiency. Part of your responsibility is to provide a safe means of access to a variety of areas in your workplace.

While fall hazards can be similar between facilities, your fall hazards are uniquely specific to your facility.

The challenge is to apply current OSHA, ANSI, NIOSH regulations, and state-specific legislation to your situation and develop a comprehensive plan for:

• + Fall Avoidance
• + Fall Prevention
• + Fall Protection
• + Fall Arrest
• + Fall Restraint

There is not a single “universal fit” to mitigating all fall hazards. Truly gauging the likelihood of a fall taking place involves looking at your specific work environment, height at which work is performed, number of employees using an area and many other factors. Managing and mitigating falls begins by assessing honestly and openly the risks inherent in your facility.

It continues with a review of your facility’s structural elements for the anticipated installation of fall protection equipment.

By partnering with Diversified Fall Protection to assess the fall hazards that exist in your situation you get the benefit of what OSHA defines as a “qualified person” overview and understanding.

Diversified Fall Protection can provide a fall hazard survey for your facility or specific work area and provide a written report of our findings.

[According to OSHA….

A "qualified person" is defined by OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926.32 (m) as someone"... who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated his ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, work, or the project"]

Protecting your staff and creating a safe, accident free facility is essential. Contact Diversified Fall Protection to help develop a comprehensive fall protection program.
