Description:Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. Construction Focus Four hazards (falls, struck-by, electrocutions, and caught-in/between), defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, remain leading fatal threats to workers in the industry. This Data Bulletin summarizes trends in fatal injuries among construction workers using publicly available data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), a data collection from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Due to changes in the injury coding system used by BLS, injury analyses in this report span 2011 to 2019. Fatalities in both private and public construction sectors were included in the analyses. Fatal injuries were stratified by major demographics and the Construction Focus Four. Injury risk was measured by the number of injuries per 100,000 full-time workers (FTEs
assuming a full-time worker works 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). The Current Population Survey (CPS), another BLS data collection, was the source of employment estimates and the denominators for injury rate estimates. Definitions for fatal injury categories are included at the end of this report.
