April 2018 Safety Topic: Fall Protection
Our first priority is for every member of the Kent team to return home safely every day. We all bear responsibility for our own safety and the safety of our teammates. That’s why we’re offering an in-depth safety session each month. These workshops are designed to give you practical safety skills that you can apply right away.
Your manager will give you a scheduled time to attend the Fall Protection class during the month of April.
Fall Protection Session Topics:
- Guardrail heights
- Harness inspection
- Proper anchor points
More about Fall Protection:
Working safely at heights is of utmost importance on all of our projects. Fall protection is one of MIOSHA’s “Focus Four” areas because falls from heights are the leading cause of injuries and fatalities in construction. One third of falls occur at heights of 15 feet or less. These incidents are preventable.
For questions about the workshop schedule, please contact Carl Aukeman or Dave DeGraaf.
