Fall Protection for College & Hospital Campuses: A Holistic Approach to Safety
College and hospital campuses are dynamic, complex environments, presenting a unique array of fall hazards often overlooked in traditional safety planning. From routine maintenance on elevated HVAC units and laboratory rooftops to complex façade work on historic buildings, ensuring the safety of personnel requires more than just standard equipment. It demands a comprehensive fall protection strategy that considers the unique architecture, varied activities, and diverse personnel across your entire institution.
