Developing a comprehensive fall protection plan to address workplace hazards is of critical importance both for the safety of employees and the company’s bottom line. It is important for companies to pinpoint their fall protection goals, identify which fall protection system best fits their specific application and explore how the chosen system will integrate into their workplace, to ultimately keep the workplace safer.

A common and logical goal for a fall prevention initiative is to eliminate or reduce the number of falls in a given facility over a specific timeframe. Once you document what you are setting out to accomplish, you can start identifying what you need to achieve your goals.
