Little Known Facts about Falls:
People who die during a fall generally feel no fear, just a profound acceptance of the situation.
If a fall kills a person chances are they feel no pain whatsoever.
A six foot fall can develop over 2 tons of force
Fall the number one killer in construction and number two in industry.
Fall kill and injure many at home and while at play.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently released their 2015 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and the construction industry once again topped the list with 937 worker deaths. This is about a 4% increase in occupational fatalities over the 899 reported for 2014. This is the largest number of construction worker deaths since 2008.
Many more are injured and survive falls, to carry a life long memory of it.

| Hang time, while wearing a belt verses a full body harness. Fall recovery is an emergency, suspension trauma, or orthostatic intolerance, a condition where the blood pools in the lower torso. Leg loops, and the harness make it hard for the blood to return to the head, heart, kidneys, etc. It is like when someone passes out while standing at attention, but in that case, they end up horizontal and then the blood flows back into the upper torso. It can kill in 30 minutes. Prevention is best, but if the harness arrests the fall, the skills, and a plan for recovery/rescue is critical. |

| Scaffolding skills and ladder skills are not common sense, although they can be learned. Notice how well this set of scaffolding is set up? Most must look twice to notice. These are skills I teach in the Situational Awareness and Risk Exposure Training In would be a honor to arrange a training session for your team. |
This video has some crazy falls from ladders. Worth watching Please do give me a call, or email me so we can set up some training.

Fall Protection Training and Certification
I recommend starting with 30 minutes of
consultation, for a reduced price of $75.
During that time I provide ideas, share techniques and methods with you
about the subject matter; as well as possible solutions to other questions you
may have. From there I can provide
specific time and training, or other services.
