She landed on concrete and sustained serious injuries. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she died from the injuries she sustained during the fall. Goodwin was employed through a private contractor that had been hired by a construction company and didn&#8217;t see the open hole where the stairs were going to go.<\/p>\n<p>OSHA is currently working with the Vernon Police Department and the building official to actively investigate the accident.<\/p>\n<h3>The Impact of Falls<\/h3>\n<p>Falls continue to be one of the most prevalent and fatal accidents in construction, dubbed as one of the &#8220;Fatal Four&#8221;. Construction&#8217;s &#8220;Fatal Four&#8221; are infamously the top four causes of worker death in the construction industry.<\/p>\n<p>The other 3 of the &#8220;Fatal Four&#8221; are considered to be &#8220;struck-by objects&#8221;, &#8220;electrocutions&#8221;, and &#8220;caught-in\/between&#8221;, with falls being the top cause of death in construction in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/oshstats\/commonstats.html\">2016<\/a> (38.7% of construction fatalities).<\/p>\n<p>That being said, fall protection and adequate fall protection training are not only OSHA mandated, but they&#8217;re imperative in potentially saving a worker&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<h3>OSHA and Fall Prevention<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, proper guarding of holes, edges, etc. are also OSHA mandated to prevent falls.<\/p>\n<p>In order to provide adequate fall prevention, OSHA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/Publications\/fall_protection_qc.html\">states<\/a> that employers MUST:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guard every floor hole where a worker can potentially and accidentally fall through with the use of a railing and toeboard, or a floor hole cover.<\/li>\n<li>Provide a guardrail and toeboard around every open-sided platform, floor, or runway that is 4 feet or higher off the ground or next level.<\/li>\n<li>Regardless of height, if a worker can fall into or onto dangerous machines or equipment (such as a vat of acid or a conveyor belt), employers must provide guardrails and toeboards to prevent workers from falling and getting injured.<\/li>\n<li>Other means of fall protection that may be required on certain jobs include safety harness and line, safety nets, stair railings and handrails<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OSHA also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/Publications\/fall_protection_qc.html\">mandates<\/a> that employers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintain working conditions that provide adequate safety and are free from known dangers.<\/li>\n<li>Keep all floors and surfaces clean and clear from slip, trip, and fall hazards, and ensure that they are in sanitary condition.<\/li>\n<li>Conduct risk assessments to determine necessary personal protective equipment, and provide to employees at no cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>National Safety Stand-Down<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-42129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlantictraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/safety-orientation-1-2.png\" alt=\"construction falls\" width=\"328\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atlantictraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/safety-orientation-1-2.png 561w, https:\/\/www.atlantictraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/safety-orientation-1-2-300x228.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/>\n<p>Ironically, Goodwin&#8217;s fatal fall comes just weeks before OSHA&#8217;s National Safety Stand-down, which is a week dedicated in May that encourages employers to have direct safety talks with employees about safety and safety measures in the workplace; focusing specifically on fall hazards and fall prevention.<\/p>\n<p>The event is completely voluntary, and participation simply involves discussing fall prevention and fall hazards with employees at some point during the week of May 7-11, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Fall prevention discussions can come in the form of a safety meeting, safety toolbox talks, or any other sort of safety measure such as an equipment inspection, or safety assessment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OSHA is partnering with key groups to assist with this effort, including the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA), OSHA approved State Plans, State consultation programs, the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), the National Safety Council, the National Construction Safety Executives (NCSE), the U.S. Air Force, and the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers&#8221; OSHA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/StopFallsStandDown\/\">mentions<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n<h3>OSHA&#8217;s Fall Prevention Campaign<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the Safety Stand-Down, OSHA has an entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/stopfalls\/index.html\">website<\/a> dedicated to fall prevention in Construction.<\/p>\n<p>Here they encourage employers to follow these objectives when carrying out their fall prevention program:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>PLAN <\/strong>ahead to get the job done safely\n<ul>\n<li>Thoroughly plan projects so workers can execute jobs safely<\/li>\n<li>Decide how jobs will be done<\/li>\n<li>Determine what tasks are involved and how they can be completed safely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>PROVIDE<\/strong> the right equipment\n<ul>\n<li>Remember that falls from over 6 feet can cause serious injury and death<\/li>\n<li>Provide the right fall protection and equipment\n<ul>\n<li>Including the correct ladders, scaffolding, and safety gear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>For roofing, provide adequate fall arrest systems<\/li>\n<li>Provide harnesses for workers who must tie off an anchor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>TRAIN<\/strong> everyone to use the safety equipment\n<ul>\n<li>Most business insurance companies, risk management companies, and compliance firms require adequate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantictraining.com\">employee training<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Every worker should be trained on proper equipment use and set up<\/li>\n<li>Employees should also be trained on how to assess safety hazards and prevention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Fall Prevention Equipment Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>Outside of training and planning, fall protection equipment is a very large component of fall safety.
