Did you know that in the construction industry, falls are the leading cause of fatality? As a result, more and more companies are adding fall protection programs and fall protection systems, and implementing fall protection training into their construction safety training programs.

In 2011, a whopping 4,209 workers were killed on the job. Companies certainly hate losing workers, both to injury and death, and as such, construction safety is something every construction company takes incredibly seriously. As a result, for lifting heavy loads, construction companies use chain hoists, typically by drums or lift wheels.
