Not everything is about Corona Virus…
OSHA actually come out with an interesting publication – safety through Leading Indicators and not lagging indicators. In other words, being proactive, and not just doing this AFTER the person falls off the ladder.
You know what to do:

I was surprised to find this as well – an entire book online for free. This is a guide developed by the British on all things safety. Not a full handout for complex issues, but great for companies establishing a safety program, educating a person on safety and risk, and ways to combat the most common issues in the workplace. Excellent design.
