Failing to train your employees on proper open hole procedures can leave a huge void in your endeavors to keep employees from falling victim to incident and or injury!

Deaths from falls lead fatalities in construction. Construction workers just as often die from fall-through hazards as they do from work at elevations.

Increase your hole hazard awareness by being aware of your surroundings, walking with caution and not carrying objects that might obstruct your view.

Holes are a common workplace hazard. The employer has a responsibility to protect workers from hole hazards. As an employee, become hole smart by being aware of your surroundings and the hole hazards that are present. If you think there may be a hole in the area, walk with caution. Avoid carrying objects that will obscure your view. If you find a hole, it is your obligation to report it to your supervisor.

It is the responsibility of the employer to identify all risks in the workplace which may prove to be hazardous to workers. This includes holes. Regular workplace inspections should take place near any open edge structures, such as near an incomplete stairwell, and near a hole, shaft or pit into which a worker could possibly fall. This may include trenches, lift shafts and service pits.

A risk assessment should be carried out to determine what could happen if a fall did occur and how likely it would be to occur. The severity of the risk, whether existing control measures are effective and what action should be taken to control the risk should also be assessed.

An opening in a wall or a hole in the floor can be a falling hazard if left unprotected.

To prevent a fall from an unprotected edge:
✔After creating an unprotected edge, immediately cover it or put up rope to protect it;
✔Keep areas with holes off limits;
✔Hole coverings must be able to support twice the weight of a worker and their tools or materials;
✔Do not carry materials that are big enough to block your vision. If you must do so, be sure your fall arrest system is securely in place; and
✔Keep the work area clean of clutter that could cause a trip.

Falls are a risk for every construction worker. But working to prevent them in these ways can minimize the chance of them happening on your job site.
