Anatomy of a Fall
• It takes most people about 1/3 of a second to become aware.
• It takes another 1/3 of a second for the body to react.
• A body can fall up to 7 feet in 2/3 of a second.
.33 second/2 feet
.67 second/7 feet
1 second/16 feet
2 second/64 feet

Falls
• Falls consistently account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry each year
• In 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 1,224 workplace fatalities resulted from falls
• In addition, the hardship and cost of care for injuries related to falls is an emotional and financial burden for workers and the entire construction industry

Falls From A Floor(One Level to the Next)
• Falls from one level to the next is a leading cause of fatalities in construction.
• Floor holes are a common hazard.

Analyze Work Area
• Analyzing work area for fall hazards may include:– Reviewing blueprints before work begins– Anticipating upcoming fall hazards as work
progresses– Reviewing for current hazards on site– Pre-planning for fall protection– Walk around and look
![Page 17: Fall Hazard Awareness Course for the Construction Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/568151b5550346895dbfe1c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Could These Exposures Been Prevented?

• Conduct fall assessment
• Eliminate need for fall protection
• Select type of fall protection system
• Develop rescue/retrieval procedures
• Develop equipment inspection, maintenance storage program
• Provide fall protection training
• Monitor fall protection program
![Page 23: Fall Hazard Awareness Course for the Construction Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/568151b5550346895dbfe1c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Step 4
• Select the appropriate types of fall protection systems
![Page 27: Fall Hazard Awareness Course for the Construction Industry](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/568151b5550346895dbfe1c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fall Protection Systems
• Guardrail systems
• Personal fall-arrest systems
• Safety-net systems
• Positioning-device systems
• Warning-line systems
• Safety-monitoring systems
• Controlled-access zones
