These hazards can arise from working at heights, such as on ladders or scaffolding, as well as from slips, trips, and falls on uneven or cluttered surfaces. Injuries resulting from falls can range from minor bruises to severe fractures or fatalities. Effective safety measures, including the use of proper personal protective equipment, secure working conditions, and adherence to safety protocols, are crucial in preventing falls and minimizing the risk of injury.
