Everybody climbs up or down for some reason or other. Many fall and get injured or worse, end up killed, all over the world, especially in their place of work. Why does it happen? Does it have to be so? Can it be managed better and, if so, how? This book addresses these questions in layman's language, yet with technical detail to satisfy the more curious and challenge the more ambitious. In Safety at Height: A Holistic View of Fall Management, hugely experienced author Natarajan Krishnamurthy shares his long research and consultancy experience on this subject to offer an overview of falls, methods to mitigate them and management techniques to ensure better safety. This book argues that deaths and major injuries from fall accidents could have been prevented by stakeholders knowing more and following guidelines. It looks at the mechanics of falls, accidents in the workplace and lifelines that can be put in place. Featuring exercises at the end of chapters to underpin learning, this title concludes with unusual fall situations. Through its pages, the reader will develop a good understanding of how to prevent falls across a variety of different real-life scenarios. This quick guide will be an ideal read for students, researchers and professionals in the fields of occupational safety and health, human factors and professions where slips, trips and falls tend to occur--
