Sherwood Park, AB: BIS Safety Software has added new Fall Protection courses to the online training network. These new courses are available on the BIStrainer network. Fall protection is an extremely important course to provide for your employees. Falls are one of the most common causes of major injuries and fatalities in the workplace and employers should set up the workplace to prevent employees from falling off any elevated workstations, or overhead platforms. In order to protect yourself and ensure OSHA compliance, it’s important to familiarize yourself with workplace fall protection. This is where various fall protection courses and training can be the difference between life and death. Here is a link to one of the newest courses for Fall Protection Awareness.

According to the World Health Organization, there are an estimated 684,000 fatal falls each year and approximately 37.3 million falls that cause injury requiring medical attention. Employers should make sure to mitigate hazards in the workplace by restricting access to dangerous areas, promoting OHS programs, and providing proper fall arrest systems and the appropriate training.
