WORKING AT HEIGHT
According to OSHA's all work performed more than 1.8 feet above a lower level and in places where there are no permanent platform protected on all sides with rails and withholdings to prevent falls.
The drop in height may be due as much to human causes (eg poor physical condition, imbalances, dizziness, vertigo or simply lack of attention) as to material causes (lack of protective equipment, failure of supporting elements, soil wet, etc.)..
In some sectors, such as construction, falls aloft represent a high percentage of accidents with low during working hours and are between 20 and 30%, may be variations, depending on the year, and statistics.
Falls people at different levels leading to injuries usually are severe: approximately 20% of those are fatal accidents occur.
