Why Use RollAStep Flatbed Fall Protection?
The process of loading presents inherent risks, with falls being a frequent mishap. Employees are often at risk of injury due to slips during load access, climbing over cargo, or while engaging in tarping and securing operations. It's crucial to have a robust fall protection system in place to safeguard workers and mitigate the risk of injuries. Here are five reasons to consider:
- OSHA guidelines require fall protection measures for workers operating above four feet to ensure their safety.
- Truck loading and unloading present significant fall risks, with truck drivers facing a fatal injury risk six times higher than other professions.
- Handling tarps is a strenuous task, with some tipping the scales at over 150 pounds. When you factor in unpredictable elements like wind and rain, along with the challenge of balancing atop uneven loads, the potential for a fall injury not only exists – it escalates dramatically.
- Using a RollAStep demonstrates a commitment to safety, benefiting workers and their families, while its easy access steps and large handrails boost confidence, reduce fatigue, and enhance productivity.
- Fall injuries can lead to significant financial burdens from lost productivity, workers' compensation, and legal costs. A fall protection system like RollAStep can greatly mitigate these expenses.
