Between 2014 and 2015, deaths caused by falls in the workplace decrease a little bit in comparison with 2014. In 2015, there were 648 fatal falls to lower level by the height of fall. This number represents 2% less than in 2014.

That is why it is important that employers maintain all the safety measures in the workplace as ordered by OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Organization. Indeed, OSHA has developed a plan to avoid fatal falls in the workplace. It is called "Plan. Provide. Train." It also is important to actualize all safety manuals in the office and make workers read it and understand the safety procedures.
