Tips from Tindall
Construction Safety

In a recent article it was stated that 21% of all work deaths in the US were in construction.
 
There were over  10 million 
workers in the U.S. construction industry as of 2016.

The  Engineering & Construction (E&C) industry is one of the world's largest sectors of the economy with  $10 trillion spent on construction-related goods and services each year.

Construction Supervisors: #9 most dangerous job of 2018.
  • 18 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers
  • 134 fatalities
*according to  fatal work injury rates reported by the Bureau of Labors Statistics.

43% of construction workers plan to work past age 65, according to a health and retirement study by the Center for Construction Research & Training.

60% of OSHA inspections were in the construction industry as of 2016.

Projected  growth of the industry and the number of  construction worker deaths are on the rise.
991 deaths out of 4,693 (21%) were in construction.

The Fatal Four
OSHA identifies the  leading causes of fatalities in the construction industry as the "Fatal Four." In 2017, the Fatal Four claimed seven spots on OSHA's Top 10 list of most-cited violations.
OSHA estimates that eliminating these four hazards in construction would  save 631 workers' lives per year in America.
  1. Falls: 384 deaths (38.7%)
  2. Struck By Object: 93 deaths (9.4%)
  3. Electrocution: 82 deaths (8.3%)
  4. Caught-In/Between: 72 deaths (7.3%)
