Why Fall Protection Program (FPP) is Important
An effective Fall Protection Program describes policies, procedures, and practices that help eliminate or reduce fall hazards, prevents falls, and ensures workers who may fall are not injured.
Safety should be a core value, not merely a priority.
The program identifies safety a unchangeable core value in the corporate culture. It does not consider safety to be a priority that may change as circumstances dictate.
To make sure the Fall Protection Program is effective, accomplish the following:
- Make fall protection part of your workplace safety and health program.
- Identify and evaluate fall hazards.
- Eliminate fall hazards, if possible.
- Train workers to recognize fall hazards.
- Use appropriate equipment to prevent falls and to protect workers if they do fall.
- Inspect and maintain fall-protection equipment before and after using it.
- Become familiar with OSHA and company fall-protection rules.
