Description:
Participants will identify key safety and legal issues facing organizations, expand their knowledge and professional skills to prevent fines and fatalities, engage a discourse concerning emerging issues of fall prevention and the profession. As the nation’s ladder safety expert, Dave Francis’ experience, reputation, and charismatic personality will keep you engaged and interested.
Problem:
Three of OSHA’s top ten ‘serious’ violations (#1, #3, #7) are related to falls. Every day nearly 2,000 people are injured while using a ladder, and as many as 100 of them will suffer a long-term disability. Today, one person will die in a ladder-related accident. Fall-related accidents account for huge expenses to organizations, as well as long term effects for family, friends, co-workers, HR & legal departments and the C-suite. Reducing the number of ladder-related injuries is becoming top priority for the nation’s foremost companies, and Little Giant Ladders’ National Safety Director, Dave Francis, is leading the charge.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completing this education session, the participant should be able to:
- Improve workplace safety training by utilizing free live and online resources.
- Identify the address leading causes of ladder-related fines and fatalities among co-workers.
- Recognize ways to reduce the three most common kinds of ladder-related accidents and injuries.
