Abstract
The article focuses on the need for a paradigm shift in fall prevention and protection strategies and emphasizes the disproportionate work-at-height fatality rate in the U.S. due to excessive reliance on ineffective control methods. Topics include the urgent need for a refined hierarchy of controls, emphasizing prevention through design, reducing overreliance on personal protective equipment, strengthening enforcement activities, and the role of safety professionals in influencing change.
