Fall Protection: Traps that Workers Can't Avoid - by J. Nigel Ellis, McGraw-Hill Construction, ENR
Workers often are blamed for their own fatal falls because there always seems to be a rule that they didn't follow. The victims alive or dead are a convenient target because they can't effectively answer back. Now there is evidence showing that, no matter how careful you are, falls are inevitable with some exposures or hazards. I call these hazards Human Fall Traps, or HFTs, and they typically produce serious injury and death.------------------------------------------- posted 5:07 AM :: reference link ::
