According to the U.S. Department of Labor are the leading cause of construction fatalities. In 2021, falls from elevations accounted for about 38% of all construction fatalities. 

The fact is these deaths are preventable. Employers can prevent falls by following these five facts: 

1. If you're working at 6 feet or more, use fall protection. 
2. Before starting a job, make a fall prevention plan. 
3. Provide workers with the right equipment for the job. 
4. Train everyone to use the equipment safely. 
5. Inspect your harness, lanyard, and anchorage point before each use. 

Let's stand together! Safety is everyone's responsibility.
