Safety Challenges in Construction
In 2020 in the US, one in five work-related deaths was in the construction industry, which is 1,008 fatalities in a year. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the leading causes of worker deaths in the construction industry are the “fatal four”:
- Falls (over 36%)
- Being struck by an object (over 10%)
- Electrocution (nearly 9%)
- Being caught in or between equipment (2.5%)
