Almost as many falls occur from falls on the same level as from height.
This short safety training video gives a brief overview of the safety rules for preventing falls on the same level, falls from elevated surfaces, including stairs, and ladder safety. It is a good reminder for newer employees as well as for experienced workers who sometimes learn to forget the rules, especially if they have never had an accident.
No matter where you work, or what you do, you are always subject to being injured in a fall. Take time to review these important safety tips, and share them with your co-workers and family. You may just prevent someone from having a devastating, life-altering fall. And you may save someone's life.
