Among causes of injury and fatality in the workplace, falls are one of the most dangerous hazards workers can experience.

The study is aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of how safety professionals perceive safety within their organizations and the overall state of safety in today’s workplaces.

Why relying on intuition or assumed experience with tools like grinders and hammers is a recipe for accidents — and how to fix it.

Checklists are valuable for helping warehouse workers follow the right steps without missing any. However, some safety professionals become overly reliant on these documents.

Studies have shown that people’s behavior is driven by their underlying belief systems. This has an effect on hazard management, exposure assessment, and accident prevention.

Aimed at safety leaders and construction professionals, these voluntary training events raise education and awareness about preventing falls in construction and reinforcing the importance of fall protection.

Construction has changed. Today's projects are similar to large businesses, with coordination going beyond site activity to legal compliance, supply chain management, data analysis, and sustainability goals. 

Construction sites are at the top of the list of riskiest work environments. The presence of heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and challenging work conditions make construction sites hard to work in and stay safe. 

The most common causes of falls include using an extension ladder at the wrong angle, placing a ladder on an unstable surface, and overreaching to the side.
