FacilitiesNet: Fall Protection Safety

As FacilitiesNet explored one of OSHA’s most common violations – falls – and how managers can take steps to avoid them, ESFM Corporate Safety Manager Katie Segura shared some insights.

“Falls remain a challenge because of the human element,” Segura said. “We must rely on people to do the right thing for themselves and their team by wearing fall protection.
