This Is Why You Should Invest In A Proper Fall Protection System

For many, fall protection is still a new concept. Did you know that according to OSHA regulations, fall protection is required for work performed only 1.8 metres from the ground?

You might think that there isn’t much risk involved and that it’s ok to take a chance but the truth is, it really isn’t. An unsafe working environment that leads to an accident will cost you money. In case you aren’t aware, lawsuits cost a pretty penny and so do the fines OSHA will impose on you for not following their regulations.

But, money isn’t the most important reason to install fall protection and comply with rooftop safety regulations. PEOPLE are the #1 reason to invest in proper fall protection for your property. Every worker that performs a task on your property deserves a safe working environment. If something were to happen to them because of negligence on your part, you will be held accountable.

It’s easy to get preoccupied with cost-saving, deflecting safety concerns and assessing the likelihood of an unannounced inspection from OSHA but before you go down this road, remember the real reason why you’re considering investing in fall protection — PEOPLE and their safety. If you look at fall protecting this way, it gives you a little more perspective.

Fall Protection Is More Affordable Than Paying For Falls

Think fall protection systems are expensive? Think again! We’re not saying they’re cheap. But, they are much more affordable than having a lawsuit on your hands and the penalties you’ll face from OSHA if an accident were to happen.

As a property owner or manager, safety should always be your primary concern. Accidents happen all the time, often due to negligence. The only way to avoid them is to have a proper fall protection system in place.

Fall protection provides an excellent ROI since it decreases incidents that might lead to worker compensation claims, litigation expenses, liability damages and high insurance premiums.

Employers are responsible for providing safe working conditions for workers. Not only is it stated in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, but it’s also common decency to ensure the safety of anyone who works on your property.
