Fall Protection: Introduction (1 of 6)

This six-part video highlights the need for fall protection systems in the workplace. With dramatic footage of accidents and animation, it outlines the steps needed to develop safe work practices when working from heights. (1994)

That's odd, Worksafe BC denies about the same number of claims per year (upwards of 10,000), yet only 1 person in 2008 was charged with defrauding Worksafe BC.

Je travail sur chantiers, je conduit des nacelles de très grande hauteur (boomlift et autres de 8m à 56m de haut. Je conduit aussi des Manitou MRT (chariot a tourelle rotative).. Je suis tombé de mon manitou, car je ne pouvais pas aligner la tourelle sur l'échelle du chassi; talon multi fracturé, cela fait un an que je suis en arret-de-travail, j'arrive à marcher un peu, 2 3 ou 4 km, puis cest telement douloureux que durant au moins un jour je peu plus du tout sortir de chez moi et ai du mal à simplement aller au toilette.. Un chute de 130 centimètre au niveau de mes pieds.. :(

Well, using 15 years (amount of time since this video was made and the date of when posted); times the above listed calculation of 24.7 people falling per day, (Harley04's math), that comes out to 135,232.5 people. Dang, don't look up! The sky, err um people is/are falling....

[@Harley04]

did you say 90,000 over the last 10 years?
