As we approach The National Safety Stand-Down To Prevent Falls in Construction (May 2-6, 2022) I am reminded of how some view “Elimination” within the Hierarchy of Controls. The number of postings on social media calling for the “Elimination of falls” in the construction industry has me asking… can this actually be done? One such proposal calls for roofs to be constructed on the ground and then lifted into place, but wait… this does not eliminate the risk of falling. It merely reduces the likelihood of a fall and even at ground level, we still have a risk of falling @ the same level.
