Fall Protection Signs

Of all the injuries to workers, falls are among the most common cause of serious work-related accidents and deaths. To prevent falls, employers must provide preventative measures and train workers about hazards while on the job. OSHA requires fall protection to be provided at elevations of four feet in general industry workplaces, five feet in shipyards, six feet in the construction industry and eight feet in long shoring operations. In addition, OSHA requires that fall protection be provided when working over dangerous equipment and machinery, regardless of the fall distance.

Posting Fall Protection Signs throughout your work place reminds employees to wear fall protection and communicates any necessary preventative measures.
