Those rotating vinyl copy or maintaining digital billboards and other signage operate at dangerous heights where a fall could be fatal. Consider the fact that workers maintain outdoor advertisements during the winter, or in rainy conditions, and the likelihood of a fall only increases with these conditions. A comprehensive approach to fall protection is necessary to prevent falls and mitigate the risk of injury, from horizontal lifelines and fixed ladders to lifeline systems.

Billboards

Working at heights, and at all times of year, workers maintaining billboards need comprehensive fall protection.

When maintaining a billboard, even just one slip is enough for a life-threatening fall. Federal and provincial regulations dictate that fixed ladders, lifelines, and all necessary active fall protection systems must be present on billboards to protect workers from danger. Weather conditions often elevate the risk associated with working on these structures.
