Slips Trips And Falls In Construction Environments

According to the National Safety Council, in 2020, 211,640 workers were injured badly enough to require days off work, and 805 died in falls. A worker doesn’t need to fall from a high level at all to suffer fatal injuries; 136 workers were killed in falls on the same level in 2020, according to Injury Facts. Construction workers are most at risk for fatal falls from height, in fact, they’re more than seven times the rate of other industries.

The good thing is slips, trips and falls are preventable. This course provides practical information on the hazards of slips, trips, and falls with a particular emphasis on these types of injuries in construction environments.
