Falls from heights is one of the leading causes for injuries and fatalities in the workplace and in the home. In the construction industry, falls are the leading cause of fatalities. Falls accounted for 370 out of 991 total deaths in construction in 2014. The standards set by OSHA for protecting workers from falls in the construction industry are some of the most commonly violated standards in the workplace. More work needs to be done by employers to ensure workers are protected while working at heights.
