This new edition of one of the best-selling ASSE texts is written by an expert who helped develop the OSHA standards on fall protection and emergency descent. Dr. Ellis offers specifics which will aid in the identification of specific walking and working surface hazards, including slips and trips, stairways and ramps, ladders, scaffolds, and roofs. The book's new sample fall protection program provides the essentials for a new program and an audit and program evaluation for established programs. Find out how to eliminate fall hazards through preplanning fall protection.
"This is it! This single volume is the complete resource for fall protection. Dr. Ellis provides a hierarchy of fall protection solutions and guidelines for use, and his discussion of residual hazards is extremely useful for decision-making and risk control. The section on engineering considerations for equipment installation and use is particularly helpful for nonstandard applications as well."
