Where can I find statistics of leaning over handrails of a fixed platform and falling over’ WSBC has statistics of fall from elevation but there were mainly from not wearing fall protection. What is the probability of a person falling over handrails of a fixed platform’ (improbable, remote, rare, unlikely, probable, frequent)
