Capital Safety Offers Fall-Protection Demonstrations During OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Capital Safety has announced the kick-off of a national, 10-day fall protection and training program, Every Worker, Every Time, which is devoted to fulfilling the company’s mission: to bring every worker at height home safely, every workday.
The Every Worker, Every Time initiative will work hand-in-hand with OSHA's National Safety Stand-Downfrom May 4-15, the second-annual campaign to save construction workers by generating awareness about how to prevent construction-related falls. Fatalities caused by falls from elevated heights continue to be a leading cause of death among construction workers, accounting for more than one-third of all fatalities each year. In 2012, 279 of the 806 deaths recorded within the construction industry resulted from fatal falls — and all were preventable.
