Herb Strong | Preventing Slips, Trips, and Falls
Herb Strong, HazTek’s Client Services Manager (and former OSHA compliance officer), joins Chris and Matt again for a very important discussion on preventing slips, trips, and falls on construction sites. Herb informs our audience of the alarming statistics of these types of incidents that occur on project sites. He explains the factors that lead to slips, trips, and falls and offers tips for preventing these types of accidents on construction sites.
Herb has been working at HazTek for 12 years and has over 50 years of experience in safety. Before working with us, Herb was the Principal Owner of Strong Consulting services as well as an OSHA compliance officer. From his years of experience managing safety, he has seen many injuries caused by slips, trips, and falls — and has prevented many as well — making this an episode you won’t want to miss.
