Alarmingly, construction worker fatalities have been rising since 2015. On-the-job casualties in construction account for approximately 20% of deaths across all U.S. industries — and falls account for more than a third of these deaths.1
Whatever the size of the job—whether it’s a building a municipal bridge or replacing the roof of a three-family apartment house—working on a construction site presents the risk of grave injury from an accidental trip or a steep downward plummet. Preventing such falls is critical to improving workplace safety. Construction workers deserve to work in an industry that prioritizes safety; here are some best practices to help mitigate the danger of falls at your worksites.
While, ultimately, it’s the responsibility of management to ensure a safe worksite, everyone at a worksite has a role to play. At the outset of any project, it’s important to:

Encourage your crews to observe their work area closely and immediately report unsafe conditions – such as unprotected floor openings – or safety equipment that is damaged or being improperly used by colleagues.

Despite everyone’s best efforts, accidents do happen. When a fall does occur, everyone needs to know what immediate actions to take. An effective plan will outline emergency procedures, medical information, and communication protocols to ensure that injured workers receive treatment as soon as possible.
Also require an accident investigation after any incidents to understand what went wrong and prevent a repeat occurrence.
