The Most Violated OSHA Standards in Construction

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set standards to help maintain safety in the workplace and of the top 10 most violated OSHA standards, 3 of them belong to the construction industry:

• Fall protection – Falls are one of the most common causes of work-related injuries and deaths that can be prevented by proper fall protection in construction sites.
• Scaffolding – Ever present in construction work, OSHA estimates that 65% of workers in the construction industry work on scaffolds.
• Ladders – About 33% of deaths from falls in construction are caused by falls from ladders.
