OSHA reported 4,041 violations of its general fall protection requirements, down 31.7% from the preliminary 5,914 reported for fiscal 2025, according to figures released Tuesday, provided by the National Safety Council at its annual conference. Combined violations across the top 10 categories totaled 17,701, down 24.8% from 23,537 in last year’s preliminary tally. The same 10 standards appeared on both lists, although several changed positions. Hazard communication remained second, with 1,961 violations, down 23%. Lockout/tagout, which addresses the control of hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance, moved to third from fourth, despite a 14.4% decline to 1,863 violations. Scaffolding rose to fourth from seventh, the largest upward shift in the rankings, even as violations fell 9.4% to 1,725. Ladders slipped to fifth from third, with 1,659 violations, down 31%. Fall protection training requirements recorded the largest percentage decline among the top 10, dropping 33.2% to 1,273 violations and moving to eighth from sixth.
