Fall Prevention Checklist
Research shows that workplace falls make up a large part of injuries on the job. That’s why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that skylights, floor openings, and holes should always be guarded by a standard skylight screen or a fixed standard railing on each exposed side.
Supervisors should use this checklist to evaluate their own fall prevention program. Remember, negative responses warrant further investigation!
