Construction Accidents
Construction Accidents
In the last quarter-decade since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been regulating workplace safety, injuries and fatalities in industrial jobs have declined - except for on construction sites.
The largest U.S. industry is construction, and it constantly registers high rates of workplace accidents. OSHA has deployed a large amount of its enforcement to the construction industry, yet it's had little success significantly reducing injuries and fatalities in that field.
A 1992 Bureau of Labor Statistics report revealed that the lost-workday case rate for the construction industry was 5.7 per 100 full-time workers - the highest of any major economic sector.
Injuries in construction can stem from:
- Lifting-equipment failure
- Compressed-gas accidents
- Welding accidents
- Roof- or ladder-related falls
- Trench collapses
- Fires and explosions
- Electrocutions and shock
- Crane accidents
- Being hit by a vehicle on the highway
- Being hit by operating equipment
Worker's compensation benefits do not take into account pain and suffering when a construction worker is hurt on the job.
