OSHA’s National Emphasis Program to Prevent Falls: Safeguarding Against Slips, Trips & Falls

Falls are a leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities, emphasizing the importance of implementing appropriate fall protection measures. As a supplier of fall protection equipment, including retractable lanyards, vest-style harnesses, full-body harnesses, lanyard restraints, trauma prevention solutions, and personal fall limiters, your company plays a vital role in ensuring worker safety.

OSHA’s National Emphasis Program

OSHA’s National Emphasis Program (NEP) for Fall Hazards, initiated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), aims to reduce the number of fall-related accidents and injuries in the workplace. It focuses on industries with a higher risk of falls, such as construction, mining, and offshore.

MSA Fall Protection Equipment

MSA Retractable Lanyards: These lanyards offer a convenient and secure solution for fall protection. They feature a retractable mechanism that allows workers to move freely while keeping them safely tethered in case of a fall.

MSA Vest-Style Harnesses: Designed for comfort and ease of use, MSA vest-style harnesses distribute the force of a fall across the body’s strong areas, reducing the risk of injury. They provide stability and support for workers in various industries.

MSA Full-Body Harnesses: Offering comprehensive fall protection, MSA full-body harnesses are designed to prevent injuries in the event of a fall. They distribute forces across the body, minimizing the risk of serious harm.

MSA Lanyard Restraints: These specialized lanyards prevent falls by restricting a worker’s movement to a safe area. They are ideal for situations where a complete fall protection system is not necessary.

MSA Trauma Prevention: MSA trauma prevention solutions, such as energy-absorbing lanyards and shock-absorbing lanyards, help reduce the impact forces on a worker’s body during a fall, minimizing the risk of severe injury.

MSA Lanyards with Hooks: Equipped with sturdy hooks, these lanyards provide a reliable connection between the harness and the anchorage point, ensuring secure fall protection for workers.

Honeywell Fall Protection Equipment

Honeywell Miller AirCore Harnesses: These lightweight harnesses offer superior comfort without compromising on safety. They are designed to minimize fatigue during extended use and provide reliable fall protection.

Honeywell Personal Fall Limiters: Also known as self-retracting lifelines, these devices allow workers to move freely while automatically stopping a fall within a short distance. Personal fall limiters offer flexibility and ease of use.

As National Safety Month highlights the importance of preventing slips, trips, and falls, OSHA’s National Emphasis Program serves as a valuable resource for employers and workers to enhance workplace safety. It is important to prioritize the implementation of OSHA’s regulations and standards, ensuring compliance with fall protection requirements. By utilizing high-quality fall protection equipment, employers can provide their workers with reliable and effective measures to mitigate the risks associated with falls.
