Preventing Falls Through Skylights (Also available in Spanish)
“Everybody seems to think that we’re invincible. At least I used to think that.”
OHB’s California Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (CA/FACE) program produced a five-minute digital story with two of Joe’s co-workers highlighting the events that led up to his death and what could have been done to prevent it. The moving video will be used by roofers and others in trainings to prevent similar fatalities from occurring.
