A worker fell from a roof
Another slipped and fell hitting his head on a concrete floor.
A worker fell 15 feet from a ladder
Each of these workers families lost a spouse, brother, sister, son, daughter or parent as a result of the fall.
Other workers suffered critical injuries such as broken limbs, cracked ribs and head injuries.
The following are some real instances of how workers fell:
Tripped over a hose on the floor
