Fall Prevention

During this week of National Safety Month, the National Safety Council (NSC) focuses on Fall Prevention. According to OSHA, the majority of fatal falls in work-related incidents were from ladders and roofs. According to the US Department of Labor, falls account for 8% of all occupational fatalities from trauma.

Fall protection, as well as identifying and eliminating fall hazards, are key components in limiting the number of workers harmed or killed in fall incidents.
