Work place falls. The risk is real.

Take a peak at “OHS: Beyond the numbers”. Falls can happen in any industry, during routine tasks, and often with life-altering consequences.

👉 Effective hazard assessments, combined with the right engineering, administrative, and PPE controls, play a key role in reducing fall risks—before work even begins. Identifying hazards, planning the task, and putting controls in place can prevent injuries, save lives, and keep workers on the job.
Prevention starts with awareness—and it starts before the work begins.

According to WCB data from 2019–2023:
– 52 workers lost their lives due to workplace falls
– 38,000+ fall-related injuries were reported
– These injuries resulted in $142 million in claims costs and 300,000 lost workdays every year

Key insights:
– 50% of fatalities occurred in construction
– Workers 55+ accounted for nearly two-thirds of fatal fall claims
– Almost half of fatalities happened long after the initial fall, due to medical complications
