2024 National Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction

The Falls Campaign began in 2012 with NORA, NIOSH, CPWR, and OSHA seeking a way to raise awareness of the fact that falls are the top cause of construction fatalities and account for one-third of on-the-job injury deaths in the industry, with a disproportionate number of those occurring in the residential sector. Each year in the U.S. more than 200 construction workers are killed and over 10,000 are seriously injured by falls.
