Fall Protection Training
The US Department of Labor (DOL) lists falls as one of the leading causes of traumatic occupational death, accounting
for eight percent of all occupational fatalities from trauma. Any time a worker is at a height of four feet or more, the
worker is at risk and needs to be protected. Fall protection must be provided at four feet in general industry, five feet
in maritime and six feet in construction. However, regardless of the fall distance, fall protection must be provided
when working over dangerous equipment and machinery.
