Deaths from falls rose ten percent to 808 from 2000 to 2001. There were 136,693 injuries in 2000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with 26.8% resulting in more than 31 days lost from work. Eleven percent of all workers' compensation claims are from same-level slips (trips) and falls, costing $4 billion dollar (Liberty Mutual Research Center for Safety & Health). No industry is immune, even those in the service industry can expect 28.4 falls per 1000 employees.

Teach your employees to keep work areas neat using proper housekeeping procedures and to report or correct areas where a fall hazard is present to enhance fall prevention. A supervisor in any workplace where ladders are used or where work is performed above the ground needs to consider the OSHA requirements for personal fall arrest devices, signage, guardrails, footwear, and surface conditions to maximize fall prevention.

For the negligible cost of fall prevention training materials and class time, save $12,486 in workers' comp claim costs (National Safety Council, Injury Facts, 2001).
