Don’t Be a Fall Guy

Did you know that one of the highest ranking causes of serious work related injuries and deaths occurs from falls? Did you know that about half of the (on the job) fall related fatalities in 2010 occurred while performing a height-related task? We at Tarheel Paper Co. value our customers’ lives and want to help reduce those numbers, which is why we carry a full line of fall protection gear.

If you’re unsure whether you need fall protection gear, OSHA has provided the following guidelines: Any time a worker is at a height of six feet or more (construction industry) or four feet or more (general industry), the worker must be protected. Any time a worker is at a height of six feet or more (construction industry) or four feet or more (general industry), the worker must be protected.

The FS185/FS007W combination of safety gear is ideal fall protection for most of the general industry.
