• Description:
  Falls from heights (specifically ladders, roofs, and scaffolding) are the leading cause of fatalities in construction. NIOSH, OSHA and CPWR jointly launched a social marketing campaign and recruited 70 partners to promote the Safety Pays, Falls Cost campaign among targeted audiences, aiming to reduce falls in small residential construction. Researchers surveyed partners before, during, and after the campaign to determine their readiness, concerns, and level of engagement. [Description provided by NIOSH]
