Fall protection isn’t just about stopping falls. It’s about eliminating fall risk in the first place and make sure workers touch the ground safely. Fall protection continues to be a main issue in workplace safety, as too many workers still believe that it is not a big deal as they have years of experience while many companies are not taking the necessary precautionary steps due to the lack of awareness on the severity of the potential injuries, which could be life threatening.

Death causes by falling in construction site has been reported as 37% which is 164/441 cases due to lack of alertness caused by the company.
