Two events in recent months have driven home the importance of training your employees in safety procedures when they climb billboards.
In May 2016 an Outfront employee was injured falling from a billboard in St Lucie County, Florida.
In April 2016 a safety harness saved a Southeastern Displays employee when he fell from a billboard.
Lamar and the Outdoor Advertising Alliance have prepared an excellent one page document called Outdoor Advertising Fall Protection. Insider has attached a copy of the document below.
Fall Protection and other safety issues will be discussed at an OAAA safety seminar September 12-13 at the Embassy Suites in downtown Indianapolis. You can learn more by visiting the OAAA Safety Seminar page or by contacting Marci Werlinich (mwerlinich@oaaa.org).
