Construction partners patent safety net device for use on job sites. By RIDDHI TRIVEDI-ST. CLAIR
Falls have a multiplier effect by increasing the cost of worker insurance, the company's risk rating and also incurring fines and penalties from OSHA. Put together, all the expenses could affect a contractor's competitiveness in the market.
In two years, the two inventors of Safe Net said, they have not had a single problem reported with the device and have not had any nets returned.
'Many contractors are now using it in conjunction with existing systems like guard rails,' Davis said. 'When you take steps to make your workers safer, it increases their working ability, helping them be more productive. It takes the risk and stress out of what they do.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:31 AM :: reference link ::
