Our July Fall Protection & Safety promotion<\/a> is wrapping up in the upcoming weeks and we wanted to share an interesting glimpse into the time before fall protection equipment was put into use. The Empire State Building<\/strong> is an iconic feat of architecture, standing 102 stories tall (holding the title of world’s tallest building for 40 years!). Did you ever see pictures of how it was built?<\/p>\n
