| This fact-filled video introduces viewers to many of the falling hazards on a residential construction work site and suggests ways to avoid them. Major danger zones are identified, such as open-sided platforms, leading edges, and openings in floors and walls. Conventional safety systems, including guardrails and personal fall arrest systems, are examined in detail. In addition, a number of alternative safety procedures are suggested to be used when working with floor joists, floor sheathing, exterior walls, roof trusses, roof sheathing and shingles, and foundations—times when conventional safety systems can’t be used or would create hazards of their own.
