Increase Safety, Decrease Injuries and Save Money…

Pending Legislation Would Turn an OSHA Violation into a Felony!*

OSHA compliance is something we all have to deal with in business. But in any construction-related industry, a solid compliance strategy provide increased safety for workers while reducing injuries and deaths on the job, but can also save you money!

Beyond Fall Protection: Fall Prevention

Current fall protection solutions centered around clumsy harnesses are expensive, difficult to use, and increase the likelihood that they won’t get used. Any “fall protection” system that doesn’t get used by workers is a complete waste of money.

The Horizontal Under-leave Guardrail System from Hugs One, LLC is a

• simple
• easy to use
• proven

solution that prevents falls while reducing your costs.

With only 30 minutes of training, your crews will have all the expertise they need to easily install and use this life-saving, cost-saving solution.

Implementing the HUGS guardrail system on your job sites:

• Exceeds OSHA fall protection requirements
• Saves money on insurance premiums (many companies will reduce premiums when they find you’re using the HUGS on your job sites)
• Reduces ladder access incidents by stabilizing ladders between brackets
• Stops Falls!

Employers in the construction industry often ask their workers to climb, dangle, stretch, balance, walk, drill, sit, kneel, nail, and saw at heights that would marvel any circus act. Construction workers repeat these activities day after day, month after month, and year after year, oftentimes without the benefit of fall prevention. When a worksite accident occurs and there is a fatal or non-fatal injury, safety nets, harnesses, and guardrail systems are an afterthought. Roofs and their supporting structures are among the most dangerous, and usually the highest elevated, work surfaces on the job.

According to the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls from heights greater than 6 feet are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. Workers in construction incurred the most fatalities (nearly 20%) of any industry in the private sector in 2008.

Fall Prevention vs. Fall Protection

As you’re already aware, “fall protection” solutions like harnesses and safety nets lean heavily upon workers’ day-to-day participation. If your workers are in a hurry or are just plain lazy, they won’t be protected! And it only takes once…

A fall can be a devastating event. Certainly no one wants an injured worker. But having a crew member out of commission – even temporarily – is only the beginning of the pain. One incident on a job site can derail months of your life and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Dealing with OSHA, insurance audits, attorneys’ fees, and mounds of paperwork can all be avoided by installing a simple solution that protects your workers, increases productivity, and decreases injuries and deaths.
