Protect What Matters.
Like any other industry that involves working at heights, billboard workers face risk of suffering injuries or being killed on the job. Billboard workers also must consider weather conditions.
Because of these hazards, employees need to be properly outfitted with a personal fall arrest system which includes a full body harness, self-retracting lifeline or lanyard, and a reliable connection anchor point. Nearly all billboard-related injuries and deaths are a result of inclement weather, faulty equipment, electrocution, or falling.
Fall Protection & OSHA Compliance.
There are currently over 342,000 active billboards in the United States, and the men and women who attend to them have a list of job responsibilities that involve fall hazards. Some of the duties of a billboard worker include climbing on extension, portable, and fixed ladders, performing duties on working platforms positioned at a height of up to 125’, and utilizing a full range of motion when maintaining or installing signage.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has rules affecting its general industry for walking-working surfaces and has specific standards for trip, slip, and fall hazards. OSHA requires that all workers must be trained on fall hazards and the use of fall protection, a personal fall arrest system must be provided by the employer and worn by the employee, and cages and wells must be eventually replaced with a ladder safety system or personal fall arrest system.
