OSHA offers a collection of resources to help employers prevent falls in the workplace, the leading cause of worker fatality in the construction industry. 

• The sixth annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will be held May 6-10, 2019. The weeklong outreach event encourages employers and workers to pause during the workday to discuss fall hazards and how to prevent them. 
• A series of fall safety videos show how to prevent construction-related fall hazards from floor openings, skylights, fixed scaffolds, bridge decking, reroofing and leading-edge work. 
• A Fall Prevention Training Guide provides a lesson plan for employers including several toolbox talks.
• Fact sheets on ladders and scaffolding provide guidance on the safe use of these types of equipment while performing construction activities.
• A 5 Ways to Prevent Workplace Falls video that encourages employers to develop a fall prevention plan, and to provide workers with fall protection and training.
