What you are going to learn

This walking-working surfaces online training course highlights the dangers associated with slips, trips, and falls on walking-working surfaces, as well as how to avoid or minimize such hazards. Course topics include hazard identification and evaluation, safe work practices, and employer/employee responsibilities for workplace safety.

Walking-working surfaces are a major safety concern in almost every industry. They make up the majority of general industry accidents, accounting for 15 percent of all accidental deaths. Many of these incidents can be prevented by following OSHA walking-working surfaces regulations and maintaining a safe work environment.

Who This Course is For

Case Study: In December 2016, an employee in Marlborough, Massachusetts, was using a ladder to access an I-beam to walk onto a catwalk on a bridge crane, with the intention of changing the light bulbs. The worker fell from the ladder, hitting the concrete below. Later investigation revealed that the feet of the ladder were badly damaged.

Key Takeaway: Equipment must be inspected before each shift, and defective equipment must be taken out of service and marked. Never use equipment you suspect might be damaged, and always bring defective equipment to the attention of coworkers and supervisors. Broken equipment is an accident waiting to happen.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, is charged with the enforcement of safety and health conditions of workers through the use of regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. OSHA regulations are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1910 covers general industry regulations. This online training references OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D.
