In 2021, 16.8% of workplace accidents in NS were due to falls. In the residential sector that percentage is much higher given the number of trades that work from heights.
Working from a roof, on a ladder, in a scissor lift, or off a scaffold are all common tasks in homebuilding and renovation. A strong fall prevention program is essential to saving lives and preventing injuries in our industry.
A fall prevention program should include training of employees and supervisors/forepersons, hazard assessments, fall protection plans/procedures, rescue plans, and personal protective equipment.
