Some of the most common workplace or job site injuries, which could include death, are caused by falling from an elevated height. As an employer, its their responsibility to create a work environment that prevents any falling off of overhead platforms, high up work stations, or even into holes that are in the floor or walls - which is not just limited to people, but their tools as well. 

Workers have a right to a safe workplace, which is why OSHA was created to help create and enforce laws that do just that. Employers are required to choose and purchase personalized protective equipment at no cost to the workers themselves, and also explain and highlight the features that the equipment offers to keep them safe.

There's a wide variety of different types of fall protection and safety equipment to choose from, below are some of the main items workers use.
