Falling debris from a work site is responsible for a significant amount of worker injuries each year.  Objects falling from above can cause serious injury if it were to land on an individual below.  These types of accidents are typical for a construction site,  although they can occur at a variety of locations each year.

It is suggested that precautions be taken can help protect against falling debris.  Setting up a barrier is important at the ground level. It is important to setup some sort of barrier at the top to help prevent objects from falling off in the first place.
