Everybody climbs up or down for some reason or other. Many fall and get injured or, worse, end up killed all over the world, especially in their place of work. Why does it happen? Does it have to be so? Can it be managed better and, if so, how? This book addresses these questions in layman's language, yet with sufficient technical detail to satisfy the more curious and challenge the more ambitious.

In Safety at Height: A Holistic View of Fall Management, veteran author Natarajan Krishnamurthy shares his long research and consultancy experience on this subject to offer an overview of falls, methods to manage them, and practical techniques to ensure better safety. This book argues that deaths and major injuries from fall accidents can be prevented by stakeholders knowing more and following guidelines. It looks at the mechanics of falls, accidents in the workplace, and safeguards that can be put in place. Featuring exercises at the end of chapters to underpin learning, this title concludes with unusual fall situations. Through its pages, the reader will develop a good understanding of how to prevent falls across a variety of different real-life scenarios.

This handy guide will be an ideal read for students, researchers, and professionals in occupational safety and health, human factors, and activities where slips, trips, and falls tend to occur.
