OSHA\u2019s ladder regulations were among the four fall prevention-related standards that ranked in the agency\u2019s top ten most cited violations in 2023. Ladders were the main cause of 161 fatal work injuries in 2020, according to the\u00a0Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>. Although this is a\u00a05.8%<\/strong>\u00a0decrease from 171 deaths in 2019, it may not actually be a sign of success because of pandemic shutdowns.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
