OSHA Fall Protection Training
Falls are among the most common causes of work-related injuries and are the leading cause of death in construction work. 36% of all fatalities in construction work were from falls, and Fall Protection in construction has been the most frequently cited standard by Federal OSHA in recent years.
Paragon Safety Group offers Fall Protection Training courses to provide construction workers with the information needed to identify and prevent fall hazards, and to comply with OSHA standards. This course is available in both English and Spanish.
