Construction workers make up approximately five percent of the country’s workforce but account for an
average of 19% of all job-related fatalities each year. In addition, falls account for the greatest number of
fatalities in the construction industry, especially among small businesses and businesses with Hispanic
workers. Over the past 10 years, at least an average of 371 workers were killed from falls, slips, and trips,
and fall protection violations continue to be among the most cited standards in the construction industry,
consistently topping the list of OSHA’s most frequently cited violations. AGC of America is pleased to offer
this NO-COST one-day training program based on OSHA standards and best practices to answer the
need for quality training within the industry. Continuing education credits are available for this course.
