Fall Awareness and Protection

Falls from height are a significant cause of injury at worksites worldwide, many of which can be avoided with proper training, defined processes, and safety equipment.

The immersive Fall Awareness and Protection simulation begins with an overview of height-related hazards, safety equipment, the five hierarchies of fall protection and their associated levels of risk. Next, participants are asked to match risks and their descriptions for each fall protection hierarchy. Finally, the simulation places participants in a factory setting, moving freely throughout the environment. It tasks them with identifying potential fall hazards, from unmarked holes in the ground and broken equipment to observing workers on ladders, scaffolds, and machinery at height without arrests or restraints. ...
