The Construction Industry Needs More Fall Prevention Awareness, OSHA Believes

©Fotolia RAW – stock.adobe.com Safety is a non-negotiable aspect of construction, especially in the crane industry where a fall can mean a fatality. Fortunately, these deaths can be prevented by up-to-date precautionary measures designed to keep crane operators and construction workers safe. However, there is still a need for awareness of fall prevention as falls are not eradicated from the industry. During the span from 2011 to 2017, the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries reported 297 total crane-related deaths, says the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In order to prevent future fatalities in the construction industry as a whole, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) calls upon the construction community to participate in a National Safety Stand-Down. This call to action is to bring awareness to common fall hazards and steps to fall prevention.
