2022 OSHA Inspection Prep Part Two: Indoor Fall Protection -- Occupational Health & Safety

2023-02-05 17:20:00 By : Mr. Michael Song

In our first installment of this series, we discussed how to prepare your rooftop for an unexpected OSHA inspection. With this edition, we’re turning our lens to your facility's interior, as indoor fall protection is just as critical as the fall safety on your rooftop. Falling at work is an unfortunate risk across a variety of industries — from warehouses to manufacturing plants to fulfillment centers and beyond. Even the most experienced and sure-footed employee can slip, trip, or fall if the right OSHA-compliant fall protection isn’t put in place.

Since OSHA’s mission is to ensure safe and healthy working conditions, it only makes sense to expect an inspection from time to time. To help you sail through your next one and, more importantly, protect your employees, let’s take a look at the four most common areas of concern when it comes to fall safety inside of industrial facilities: stairways, mezzanines, loading docks, and ladders.  

Stairways present a risk in almost any work environment. With minds on the task at hand, busy employees often ascend and descend quickly with little regard to potential risk. In order to keep your team safe, be sure to check the following:
