  • Ladders: Falls from portable and fixed ladders, along     with scaffolds, account for 41% of all fall injuries.  Ladders should be checked for proper positioning and steadiness, structural integrity and appropriateness to the job.  Safety measures can include non-skid rungs     and side guardrails.  Our investigations team can check for irregularities in any kind of ladder (extension, wooden, metal, step, etc.).
  • Scaffolds: Falls from scaffolds account for 50 deaths and 4,500 injuries every year. Scaffolds must be properly constructed     and mounted and the weight limit should not be exceeded. Common causes of scaffold accidents include plank slippage and support failures. Safety measures can include guardrails and fall arrest systems. Our investigations team can check for irregularities in mobile, suspension, wooden and supported scaffolds.
  • Other Falls: These falls can include falls from the roof, from a girder or pole through an unprotected wall/floor hole or through a flimsy or inappropriate flooring. Safety measures that should be taken can include guardrails, safety nets and fall arrest systems
