Falling From Heights Accidents Most Commonly Occur At:
Construction Sites: Workers often encounter heights while working on scaffolding, ladders, or elevated platforms, increasing the risk of falls.
Workplaces: Various industries involve working at a height, including maintenance, window cleaning, and roofing, making employees susceptible to falling accidents.
Residential Properties: Accidents can happen on balconies, roofs, or stairs, especially when safety measures are overlooked or neglected.

In 2021, 850 workers died in falls, and hundreds of thousands were injured badly enough to require days off of work. A worker doesn't have to fall from a high level to suffer fatal injuries; 136 workers were killed in falls on the same level in 2020, according to Injury Facts. Construction workers are most at risk for fatal falls from height – more than seven times the rate of other industries, but falls can happen anywhere, even at a "desk job."
