Executive Q&A: Fall Protection - Straight Talk on OSHA’s Hierarchy of Controls

Date: Tuesday June 24, 2025 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Join us for Straight Talk on OSHA’s Hierarchy of Controls, a no-fluff, real-world webinar focused on fall protection. Hosted by Craig Erickson, CEO of Minnesota-based Safety Rail Company, this session breaks down OSHA’s fall protection hierarchy into plain language and actionable steps. We’ll start with elimination—removing fall risks entirely—then jump into an in-depth analysis of passive fall protection, our preferred (and most effective) method. You’ll learn why we believe passive systems, like guardrails, skylight covers, and safety gates, are usually the better solution. Better for your personnel and your bottom line

We'll also cover fall restraint, fall arrest systems, and the limitations of administrative controls like signage and training. Backed by real examples and straight talk, this webinar is about more than compliance—it’s about saving lives, reducing liability, and maintaining productive work environments. If you're responsible for rooftop safety, this is the practical guide you've been waiting for.
