Three Points of Contact: More Than Just Fall Prevention


Your team already knows that maintaining three points of contact when descending stairs or ladders helps prevent slips and falls. But here’s what they might not realize: It also protects their knees, hips, and lower backs from long-term damage.


Every time a team member steps down from a truck, climbs a ladder, or descends a staircase without maintaining three points of contact, their body absorbs up to 3.5 times its weight in force. That stress builds over time, contributing to joint degeneration, disc injuries and, if left uncorrected, can even lead to lost workdays.

 

Three Points of Contact is about preventing falls and so much more. It’s also vital for ensuring fewer injuries, longer careers, and being able to enjoy more UpTime.
