Fall Prevention: Plan, Provide, Train! In 2010, there were 264 fall fatalities out of 774 total fatalities in construction—which could have been preventable. Part of OSHA’s mission is to raise awareness among workers and employees about the dangers of falls from ladders, scaffolds and roofs. To help spread the education, OSHA has partnered with the construction sector of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). Their Plan. Provide. Train. campaign provides you with helpful resources, such as videos, posters and fact sheets. For more insights on improving workplace safety, the 2012 National Safety Council Congress & Expo in October will provide you with information on these topics and more. We are attending and hope to see you there!

Nuclear Power Plant Adopts a Highly Effective Scaffolding Solution Employees from a nuclear power plant were using scaffolding—and wasting precious man hours setting them up—performing maintenance on valves. A mechanic took it upon himself to research a better, more efficient solution. When he found the LiftPod, the results were instant. Employees working on the valves were able to carry the LiftPod out to the site and set it up in thirty seconds, rather than six hours. Check out the full story.
