Falls from heights and same-level falls can happen anywhere, at any time. Whether falling from a roof, a ladder or a tree, falls result in a significant number of worker injuries and deaths. These injuries and fatalities are preventable. Taking proper safety precautions encourages a safe work environment and protects workers from any unnecessary injuries. It is important that all team members work together to follow safety procedures. In this Canadian-produced video made in consultation with health and safety consultants, young workers learn the essential steps to ensure a safe work environment. They learn about pre-project safety checks, how to communicate potentially hazardous areas to a supervisor or team member, and the importance of using and wearing proper safety equipment. A special section shows a six-step guide to using a full body harness. Reinforcement of a workers' rights is also stressed. Workers have a right to refuse work that they reasonably believe is likely to endanger themselves or another worker. Employers cannot take reprisal action against workers who have worked in compliance with the law.
