type(s) of falls


Explanation:

"Caidas a diferente nivel" I do not think that the word ''nivel'' has anything to do with fall heights, but rather the types of falls that occur in the Industry.

Standard of falls or fall's standards and to a less extent fall's levels, would be another way of translating this; One can imagine this document is describing why these falls occurred in the first place and, next how these can or could be avoided.
This conclusion comes from the extra explanation that you gave.

caida a diferente nivel
fall to lower level


Explanation:
If you fall, it means you fall down, so the "different" level actually means a lower level, which is how it is usually expressed in English.

Please see this extract from the book "Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety", which also lists other hazards and accidents at work.
