Did You Know?

Compared To Other Industries, Construction Tends To Be More Dangerous.

The rate of injury for workers in the construction industry is approximately 60 percent higher than the overall average for all workers. Recognizing that hazards exist and planning ahead to properly control or eliminate them, helps protect the working men and women of the construction industry and saves businesses time and money.

Construction has the third highest rate of death by injury.

The death rate in the construction industry is about 15.2 deaths per 100,000 workers. The leading causes of death among construction workers are falls from elevation, motor vehicle crashes, electrocution, machines, and stuck by falling objects. The only two industries that have a higher death rate include mining and agriculture.
