The Role of Public Policies in Preventing Construction Deaths

Wayne B. Gray, John Mendeloff. Regulation & Governance. July, 2022.

Construction remains one of America’s most dangerous industries, with approximately 1,000 deaths annually in recent years. This study examines two areas of public policy—state workers’ compensation (WC) programs and federal and state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) activities—to determine whether stronger direct financial incentives and/or stronger regulatory enforcement are associated

with reduced fatalities in construction. The researchers used detailed state-level fatality data for all 50 states from 1992 to 2016 from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They focused on deaths instead of non-fatal injuries because the former are reported more completely and provide a significantly different ranking of states. They excluded deaths due to violence and most transportation deaths to limit the analysis to fatalities that occurred during construction activities.
