Falls are the leading cause of worker fatalities in the construction industry. There were 264 workers killed in 2010 as a result of falls on construction sites. And 100,000 more construction workers are injured every year because of falls. Yet violations of OSHA’s standards for fall protection are still among the most frequent industry citations.
