Description:"Falls are the leading cause of workplace death for construction workers. On average in 2019, more than one construction worker died every day as a result of a fall to a lower level. Fatal falls to a lower level increased by 25% in 2019 compared with 2018. In 2020, lack of proper fall protection in construction remained the most frequently cited violation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for the ninth consecutive fiscal year. The National Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction (Falls Campaign) seeks to address this preventable cause of workplace injury and death. Founded by the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Construction Sector Council, OSHA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and CPWR-The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) in 2012, the Falls Campaign will complete its eleventh year in 2022. In 2014, as part of the Falls Campaign, the organizing partners created the National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction (Stand-Down). Through the Stand-Down, employers, workers, safety associations, labor unions, and other partners pause work annually to host fall-related toolbox talks, demonstrations, trainings, story-telling, and other activities to prevent falls. As one organization described, "We have made great strides with fall protection awareness by participating in this program." The Stand-Down has widespread reach. Since its inception, millions of workers have participated. Stand-downs have been reported in every state in the United States and internationally. For past evaluation reports, see Stop Construction Falls: Evaluation Efforts." - NIOSHTIC-2
