Fall protection is important even for experienced workers because balance can be lost and falls can happen unexpectedly from just a short height. Falls have been a hazard since the beginning, so protection is needed to prevent injury when working at heights until better landing techniques are developed. A document provides resources on fall protection hazards and controls including a chapter in a health and safety textbook, related videos, and practice questions to review working at heights.

1. Fall Protection

2. Fall Protection
We need protection because even if we’re
experienced working at heights, we can lose our
balance or grip. We can slip, trip, or misstep. We
can fall at any time. We may think that our
reflexes will protect us, but we’re falling before
we know it.
And we don’t have to fall far to get hurt. We’ve
been falling since Day One. Until we get better at
landing, we’ll need protection from falling.
