As I'm writing this newsletter, I'm listening to the news and am sad to hear that in Wixom, MI a construction worker just fell 40-feet and died.
Unfortunately, falls are still the most leading cause of death on
the job site. In 2013, there were 828 construction fatalities and 291 of them were from falls. Here are 3 steps to prevent falls:
1. Plan
2. Provide
3. Train
Plan: Decide how the job will be done and what safety gear you'll need. Include this in the cost of your job if needed.
Provide: Whether you your a sole-proprietor, run a crew or like to do things yourself spend the money and secure / provide the proper safety gear or equipment to get
the job done safely.
Train: Teach everyone to the proper set up and safe use of equipment and to recognize hazards.
