IOSH In focus ~ Let’s talk about falls from height

Falls from height are the second leading cause of death from injury after road traffic accidents. And they affect workers in a variety of industries all over the world.

When someone dies from a fall at work, the impact is felt far and wide. Together, we can work to break the silence and start the conversation on fall prevention - building awareness, sharing responsibility and effecting change.
