The Importance of Fall Protection PPE
According to OSHA, falls are the most common cause of death among construction workers—and one of the most common causes of work-related injuries overall. These injuries and deaths are particularly tragic because they are entirely preventable with the proper use of procedures and fall protection PPE.
In fact, OSHA mandates a number of safety measures to prevent dangerous falls on the job, including requiring employers to provide fall protection beginning at 4 to 8 feet (depending on the industry), guarding floor holes, and providing a guard rail or toe-board around open-sided platforms. In addition, employers may be required to provide fall protection in the form of safety harnesses, safety nets, stair railings, and handrails, among other regulations.
3M’s Commitment to Safety
Whether you're in construction, telecommunications, or another general industry, working at height without the proper protective equipment can put you at risk. You want to know that you and your team are using products and harnesses that you can depend on to keep you safe on the job—because safety isn't just important, it's absolutely critical.
More than six decades ago, 3M began their commitment to help those working at height with innovative technology, high-quality products, and comprehensive education and training. Today, that commitment shines brighter than ever with their latest line of harnesses designed to optimize worker safety, comfort, and productivity.
