Unfortunately, falls are still the most leading cause of death on the job site. In 2013, there were 828 construction fatalities and 291 of them were from falls. Here are 3 steps to prevent falls:

1.  Plan

2.  Provide

3.  Train

Plan: Decide how the job will be done and what safety gear you'll need. Include this in the cost of your job if needed.

Provide: Whether you your a sole-proprietor, run a crew or like to do things yourself spend the money and secure / provide the proper safety gear or equipment to get the job done safely.   

Train:  Teach everyone to the proper set up and safe use of equipment and to recognize hazards.
