Every day in Canada, over 42,000 people are injured due to falls that happen at work, accounting for over 20% of allowed lost-time claims. When we hear about a severely injured individual or a death that occurred from falling, we often think of falling from the top of a building, a ladder, scaffold, or other above-ground-level structure. From a statistical perspective, injury or death is more common from a fall at ground level or less than 10 feet above ground.
