The Stand-Down focused on fall hazards and fall prevention, emphasizing safety demonstrations, trainings and hazard recognition activities. Falls are a leading cause of workplace injuries and deaths in construction, and can also be important hazards in non-construction locations where workers use ladders or work in elevated locations. The remainder of this note summarizes approaches to fall hazards and fall protection.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/osha-emphasizes-fall-prevention) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/osha-emphasizes-fall-prevention#comments-listing) Tags: [Health & Safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/health-safety), [OSHA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/osha), [Safety and Health at Work](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/safety-and-health-at-work), [workplace safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/workplace-safety), [Cal/OSHA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/cal-osha), [Injury](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/injury), [Safety Regulations](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/safety-regulations), [Worker Safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/worker-safety), [Risk Management](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/risk-management), [Fall Prevention](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/fall-prevention) ## [Department of Labor reports fewer occupational injuries, illnesses, and deaths last year](https://blog.stpub.com/department-of-labor-reports-fewer-occupational-injuries-illnesses-and-deaths-last-year) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Wed, Mar 26, 2025 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/images/injury.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/department-of-labor-reports-fewer-occupational-injuries-illnesses-and-deaths-last-year) The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) compiles data about occupational injuries and illnesses (I&I), and issues annual reports about occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities. BLS cooperates with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements that employers record occupational I&I as they occur, and compile annual I&I logs to inform workers and regulators of overall rates.  BLS issued its report for calendar year 2023 in December 2024, highlighting causes and distributions of workplace deaths, and noting that they were lower than in 2022. The rest of this note summarizes how these occupational incidents are reported and counted.  [Read More](https://blog.stpub.com/department-of-labor-reports-fewer-occupational-injuries-illnesses-and-deaths-last-year) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.stpub.com/department-of-labor-reports-fewer-occupational-injuries-illnesses-and-deaths-last-year#comments-listing) Tags: [Health & Safety](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/health-safety), [OSHA](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/osha), [EHS](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/ehs), [Safety and Health at Work](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/safety-and-health-at-work), [Injury](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/injury), [Health and Safety Compliance](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/health-and-safety-compliance), [Workplace Safety Guidelines](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/workplace-safety-guidelines), [Risk Management](https://blog.stpub.com/topic/risk-management) ## [WorkSafeBC reminds employer to prevent slips, trips and falls](https://blog.stpub.com/worksafebc-reminds-employer-to-prevent-slips-trips-and-falls) Posted by [Jon Elliott](https://blog.stpub.com/author/jon-elliott) on Tue, Dec 05, 2023 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.stpub.com/hubfs/pexels-towfiqu-barbhuiya-12460181.jpg) ](https://blog.stpub.com/worksafebc-reminds-employer-to-prevent-slips-trips-and-falls) On October 24, 2023, WorkSafeBC, British Columbia’s provincial occupational health and safety (OHS) regulator and workers’ compensation overseer, issued a reminder to employers to address the hazards of workplace slips, trips and falls. The reminder began with a recitation that approximately 20 percent of all workplace injuries in the province relate to slips, trips, and falls. The agency also reported that “in the past six years, almost 41,000 workers in B.C. suffered slip-trip-and-fall injuries, including fractures, sprains, and dislocations.” The agency notice follows these statistics with reminders of what employers can and should do to reduce the likelihood and severity of these injuries.

OSHA also requires employers to post an annual I&I Summary in each workplace “establishment” by February 1, summarizing that workplace’s I&Is during the previous calendar year. In addition, OSHA requires some employers to submit some of this I&I information electronically to the agency. (I wrote about the initial electronic reporting requirements [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/osha-requiring-employers-to-submit-injury-and-illness-information)). On July 21 OSHA updated and revised these electronic reporting requirements (finalizing a proposal I wrote about [HERE](https://blog.stpub.com/osha-proposes-to-revise-injury-and-illness-reporting-requirements)). The remainder of this note summarizes these changes.

Delegated state-run programs impose comparable requirements. Furthermore, OSHA requires some employers to submit their summaries electronically to OSHA – this year by March 3, 2023.
