Throughout the past five decades, OSHA's workplace focus areas have changed, but its mission has always remained the same -- ensure safe workplaces across the board. In its 50-year recap, OSHA highlights its fall prevention campaign as a key initiative launched in the 2010s. OSHA states that falls are the number one cause of worker fatalities in the construction industry. American Ladder Institute and National Ladder Safety Month work at decreasing these numbers and ensuring workers and homeowners alike are safe on ladders.
