ASSE releases newest version of the Z359 Fall Protection Code
With recently released Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing that falls from height continue to be one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) has recently announced the release of the newest version of ANSI/ASSE Z359 Fall Protection Code Version 3.0.
A benchmark standard that has been incorporated into many industrial fall protection programs around the world, the code establishes requirements for an effective and comprehensive fall protection management system. It then addresses technical issues and concepts with a series of coordinated standard and reference documents.
