To further their commitment to helping California employers keep their workplaces safe, State Fund launched an additional element of the successful Be their Hero safety culture campaign: Fall Prevention in the workplace.
Falls are one of the top three causes of all preventable injury-related deaths, and one of the top ten causes of non-fatal injuries. The new campaign provides fall prevention information with the intention of inspiring positive behavioral change. Target industries are those at higher-risk for falls—sheet metal, residential carpentry, and roofing.
Beginning in March, policyholders in those industries will receive a monthly Be their Hero email sharing important fall prevention information. The emails will also provide campaign materials like posters and flyers so employers can run their own campaigns.
Policyholders can find additional resources and guidance to help prevent falls in their workplace at www.SafeAtWorkCA.com.
