Fall Protection
Falls are the leading hazard facing not only window cleaners, but anyone working on the exterior of a building. Additionally, there are hazards faced by crews working on the ground such as slip and falls and hazards presented by working on ladders. This is where fall protection is a critical component. Fall protection is required whenever a worker is exposed to a fall hazard as mentioned above. According to OSHA, fall protection options can consist of:
- Full Body Harness
- Perimeter Guarding
- Lanyards
- Fall Restraint Systems
- Rope Grabs
- Warning Line Systems
- Life Lines
- Fall Arrest Systems
At KEVCO, fall protection is always addressed as it is a key component to ensure proper safety compliance with the I-14 Window Cleaning Safety Standard for not only window cleaning services performed at any building, but for other exterior services performed at a building as well.
