The following are tips for training and preventing high and same-level falls: • Have stand-downs throughout the year and change the format while still providing essential topics. • Give your employees opportunities to be heard and identify any issues they see. • Bring in a guest speaker or talk about a recent fall trag- edy when providing fall prevention training. • Provide hands-on training using identical scenarios to ones your employees will run into eventually. • Offer a first aid and rescue training program to help your employees understand what to do if a fall occurs. Preventative measures go a long way in protecting team members from taking a tumble. Missing railings or edge protectors account for the more severe injuries that can be fatal. Be sure to have the proper treading and risers for stairs and keep your floors clean and free of hazards. CONTINUED ON PAGE 34
