ALWAYS SECURE SAFETY CHAIN GATES
Uninstalled safety chains create an opportunity for employees to fall from the platform. Last year alone, 738 work-related deaths occurred in the United States when individuals fell to a lower level in their workplace. Don't put yourself in a position where you could become part of these statistics. Engineering improvement options are under consideration to maximize your safety. Remember: when working from elevated platforms, please secure the safety chain. It could mean the difference between life and death.
