• Description:
  Kay Gee, the OSHA Director in the NYC office, relates how falls have been and remain the number one cause of fatalities in NYC. Falls can happen many ways, from a height or from the same level. Even falls from a 6ft ladder can lead to death. Employers should have a plan for every surface. The most important factor is to do it all of the time, 100%. Visit our national campaign website to learn more and how you can prevent these needless deaths at work.
