Nigel Ellis - "Why Fall Protection Programs Fall Through the
Cracks"
Fall deaths keep going up when overall work deaths are gradually

engineering followed by designing and installing a verified system are the
first steps to remediate a recognized fall hazard. Elimination and
prevention systems are the first choice before fall arrest. |
