This update highlights new workplace safety and health resources issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), OSHA’s Alliance Program participants, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and others.
After adding more than 30,000 jobs in January alone, the construction industry shows no signs of slowing down. With more workers comes more responsibility for safety. Falls from heights are 
still the leading cause of death in the private construction industry and lack of proper fall protection is the most frequently cited violation by OSHA. That is why each year; the construction industry dedicates a week of safety events to stopping fatal falls. Jobsites across the country and internationally pause work so that employers and workers can talk about fall prevention and commit to on-the-job safety.
