Construction sites can be hazardous with construction work being one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Fatalities for construction workers are the third highest in the United States with 15.2 deaths per 100,000 workers. Only two other industries having a higher fatality rate than construction: mining and agriculture. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the fatality rate for other occupations was only 3 per every 100,000 workers from 2010-2012.
Fatal Four
Known as the “Fatal Four”, the BLS reports that the four leading causes of death for construction workers are:
- Falls – 35%
- Struck by Objects – 10%
- Electrocutions – 9%
- Caught in/between something – 2%
Eliminating the “Fatal Four” from the work environment would effectively save 419 lives every year. This would require improving safety at construction sites that are hazardous for workers that have hazardous conditions such as:
- Electricity
- Noise
- Heights
- Toxic solvents
- Dust
- Confined spaces
- Lead materials
- Defective power tools and equipment
