Construction workers make up approximately 5% of the country's workforce but account for an average of 19% of all job-related fatalities yearly. In addition, falls account for the most significant number of fatalities in the construction industry, especially among small businesses. Over the past ten years, at least an average of 346 workers were killed from falls, and nonfatal injuries and illnesses from falls occurred at a rate of 31.4 per 10,000 full-time workers in 2020. In collaboration with the AGC of America, we're pleased to offer this NO-COST one-day training program based on OSHA standards and best practices to answer the need for quality training within the industry.
