  Many Michigan workers, regardless of industry or occupation, are exposed to fall hazards at work. According to 2014-2018 Michigan's hospital surveillance data, 120 workers were killed and 1,705 workers were seriously injured due to a work-related (WR) fall incident (two workers were injured twice in two separate years). The highest frequency of fall-related deaths was in the construction industry. However, the highest number of nonfatal fall-related injuries was associated with services industries (e.g., Publishing, Recreation, Food and Accommodation Services, Professional, Scientific and Technical Services).
