Podcast: What OSHA Data Reveals About Fall Protection Safety

Dec. 11, 2024
A look at OSHA's Top 10 most common violations of FY2024—and how to turn that data into actionable information.

OSHA recently revealed its annual ranking of the most frequent safety violations. The data offers a glimpse of the state of workplace safety in America, but it can't tell us the whole picture.

Philip Jacklin of Diversified Fall Protection and Managing Editor Nicole Stempak discuss the limitations of the data. Given that most of the top 10 violations are repeats, it means that safety professionals have to get creative if they want to see something different in 2025.

Jacklin says that starts by addressing the behaviors and actions that can result in violations and tackling the workplace culture that allows their persistence.
