Safety by Design: Complying with OSHA's Fall Protection Standards (Earn 1 LU|HSW)

Architects, designers, and all those involved in shaping our built environment, we extend an invitation to an insightful webinar focusing on a crucial, often underrepresented aspect of architectural design–Rooftop Safety. In this session, we'll be taking a closer look at high-risk areas on rooftop structures, including Access Points, Rooftop Openings, and Unprotected Edges. This specialized training will provide architects with the vital knowledge to design safer rooftops. We'll examine typical rooftop fall hazards and identify opportunities to address these risks at the design stage. 

This approach not only enhances the safety of maintenance personnel and other rooftop users but also contributes to the overall functionality and user-friendliness of the buildings you design. We'll dive into the technicalities of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) codes pertaining to rooftop safety. You'll gain an in-depth understanding of these regulations and their practical implications, helping you to design spaces that adhere to the highest safety standards. One of the key tools we'll explore is the Risk Assessment Matrix, a strategic approach to assessing and prioritizing potential hazards. Incorporating this tool in your design process can guide your decision-making, enabling you to integrate the most effective safety measures based on the identified risks. 

Fall protection solutions will be highlighted, providing real-world examples of how these can be seamlessly integrated into architectural designs. This will be a great opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the latest in safety technology and understand how to incorporate these protective systems in your future projects. We encourage an interactive session where participants can engage in open dialogues by asking questions. Join us in this compelling webinar and let's together strive towards creating architectural designs that prioritize the safety of its users.
