Why Fall Protection Expertise Is Critical

Whether a worker was exposed to an unprotected edge, improperly anchored, or lacked fall arrest training, fall protection cases hinge on technical compliance. Attorneys often face disputes over what the standards require and whether employer actions were reasonable.

Our expert witness services clarify complex OSHA fall protection standards. We determine whether equipment, policies, and training met the required regulations — and clearly explain those findings to judges, juries, and counsel.
