Course Description
Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry, accounting for nearly one-third of all construction-related deaths each year, according to OSHA statistics. Most of these tragic incidents are entirely preventable with proper safety measures in place. Fall protection isn't just a regulatory requirement—it's a life-saving necessity.

Construction sites often involve working at heights such as roofs, scaffolds, ladders, or open edges. Without effective fall protection systems, workers are at constant risk of serious injury or death.

Fall protection is not optional. It's a fundamental component of construction site safety. By prioritizing fall protection, construction companies demonstrate their commitment to worker health, legal compliance, and operational excellence. Every measure taken to prevent a fall is a step toward a safer, more successful job site.
