Jobsite Falls Account for Most Construction Fatalities

Each year, falls consistently account for the greatest number of fatalities in the construction industry. A number of factors are often involved in falls, including unstable working surfaces, misuse or failure to use fall protection equipment and human error.

Studies have shown that using guardrails, fall arrest systems, and restraint systems can prevent many deaths and injuries from falls.

We want to add value to your company. Effective management of worker safety is a decisive factor in reducing the occurrence and the severity of work-related injuries. The following resource links provide additional information to help assist you in compliance with agency and industry standards.
