Fact-checked via 4-step process— how we build this report

01Primary Source Collection

Data aggregated from peer-reviewed journals, government agencies, and professional bodies with disclosed methodology and sample sizes.

02Editorial Curation

Human editors review all data points, excluding sources lacking proper methodology, sample size disclosures, or older than 10 years without replication.

03AI-Powered Verification

Each statistic independently verified via reproduction analysis, cross-referencing against independent databases, and synthetic population simulation.

04Human Cross-Check

Final human editorial review of all AI-verified statistics. Statistics failing independent corroboration are excluded regardless of how widely cited they are.

Statistics that fail independent corroboration are excluded.

In 2025, fall-related fatalities remain one of the most persistent threats on worksites, even as safety programs and equipment keep improving. When you look closely at the breakdown by industry, height, and event type, the pattern shifts from “general risk” to specific failure points that are easier to prevent than they are to notice. The full dataset turns those uncomfortable contrasts into actionable clues for fall protection planning.
