Preventing worksite slips, trips and falls

Falls are a major concern in Canada, leading to preventable injuries and deaths. In 2018, falls cost the Canadian economy a staggering $10.3 billion, with workplace falls accounting for a significant portion. In 2020, there were 43,435 workplace fall-related claims, resulting in 62 fatalities.

Worksite environments pose a higher risk, making robust fall protection essential. Kee Safety, a leading fall protection company, is committed to ensuring workplace safety. Nicholas Bixcul, Strategic Solutions Manager at Kee Safety, highlights their detailed fall protection protocols.

To comply with regulations, Canadian employers must follow federal and provincial workplace rules. Kee Safety collaborates with clients to clarify these regulations, ensuring comprehensive safety measures.

Worksite hazards include rooftop access, trip hazards, and fall risks. Safety railing systems, self-closing gates, and protective measures are crucial for accident prevention.

Kee Safety offers comprehensive safety solutions, providing workplace hazard assessments, compliant safety plans, and expert guidance from project start to finish. Their mission is to "separate people from hazards," prioritizing colleague safety on the job.
