Many employees in general industry workplaces work on level
surfaces where slips, trips, and falls are common occurrences. Fortunately,
these aren’t likely to result in major injuries or fatalities. However,
employees who work on ladders, scaffolds, towers, and similar surfaces may face
serious injuries or even death when slips, trips, or falls occur.
Reducing falls in the workplace can be easily done with the
proper equipment. OSHA requires that employers must:
- Guard every floor hole into which a worker can accidentally walk
- Provide a guard rail and toe-board around every elevated open-sided platform
- Provide guardrails and toe boards around any dangerous machines or equipment regardless of height
- Other means of fall protection that may be required to keep employees safe, including hand rails and stair railings
As an employer, you are required to keep the work area free
of known dangers for your employees. Safety Rail Company can help you save
human lives and stay OSHA compliant with our high quality fall protection
equipment. With safety guard rails, ladder guards, safety gates, visual warning
line systems, and more, Safety Rail Company has everything to satisfy your fall
