Stand Tall, Stand Proud, Stand-Down for Fall Safety
NIOSH, OSHA and industry partners join forces to promote fall safety with the second annual Fall Safety Stand-Down in May.
Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry, with hundreds of workers dying each year and thousands more facing catastrophic, debilitating injuries. Over the past ten years, nearly 3,500 construction workers died from falls, contributing to almost half of the fall fatalities for all industries combined. Lack of fall protection remains OSHA’s most frequently cited violation.
