Falls cause the bulk of workplace injuries and fatalities. Regulatory bodies that administrate workers’ safety rules โ notably, OSHA โ require that property owners implement fall protection measures appropriate to their structures’ design and elevation. Non-compliance can mean hefty fines, of course, but not following OSHA’s fall protection best practices can endanger workers and expose property owners to liability in case of injury or death. Applied Technical Services’ Engineering division performs fall protection consulting to keep workers safe when accessing elevated work areas, and property owners compliant with relevant safety standards. The fall protection consulting capabilities ATS offers include, but are not limited to, the following:
