Fall protection is crucial across various industries, including construction, maintenance, and manufacturing, where ladders and scaffolding are used. Safe practices involve ensuring ladders are in good condition, properly rated, and used on stable surfaces, with workers maintaining three points of contact. Scaffolding must be erected and dismantled by qualified personnel, using guardrails and toeboards to prevent falls. Regular inspections for defects or wear help identify hazards early. Additionally, maintaining clear walkways, using non-slip footwear, and promptly addressing spills are essential measures to enhance safety and prevent slips, trips, and falls in diverse work environments.
