PERSONAL . FALL PROTECTION . EQUIPMENT . USE and selection GUIDE. FOREWORD. A comprehensive fall PROTECTION program prevents injuries, saves lives and makes good business sense. In almost every industry, there are areas where workers are subjected to fall hazards. The 635 fatal falls in 2010 resulted in billions of dollars in workers-compensation costs. Accord- ing to Liberty Mutual, the leading private provider of workers' compensation insurance in the United States, on-the-job injuries cost employers nearly $1 billion per week in payments to injured employees and their medical providers. Developing and implementing comprehensive fall PROTECTION programs in the workplace can prevent many of these injuries and fatalities. Once fall hazards have been identified by a competent person, fall hazard elimination should be considered first. This is typically known as engineering out the hazard and con- sists of redesigning the working environment and the work processes and procedures.
