Description

Workplace falls are one of the top five most common workplace injuries, and there are many things that can be affected by a fall. Whether facility efficiency is reduced due to fewer workers or a worker's personal and family life changes, workplace falls can have a huge impact on many different elements of life and business. Because a fall can have so much influence, it's important that fall protection gets integrated into industrial and construction settings. This is why Rigid Lifelines is dedicated to manufacturing customized fall protection systems to protect workers at elevation. For many people, the process of incorporating fall protection into a facility or workspace can be overwhelming because of the different terminology and government regulations. Since there is a lot of information involved with fall protection regulations and requirements, Rigid Lifelines has taken the time to develop a blog and podcast that serve as references for anyone in the industry. Our podcast feed will be updated weekly to make it easy for people to learn about fall protection through tablets, smart phones, and other mobile devices while they are on the go.
