Construction workers find themselves confronted with dangerous, life-threatening work conditions on a daily basis. Construction injuries arise out of many different sectors of the industry, and often result in severe personal injury such as spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, quadriplegia, paraplegia, fractured necks, back, bones and sometimes death.
Some of the common types of accidents involve scaffolding, cranes, moving machine parts, hazardous chemicals, and unsafe working conditions in general. Moreover, these accidents and injuries occur with alarming frequency at construction sites throughout the country. Research shows that construction workers are faced with a wider variety of dangers and face a heightened risk of work-related injury or fatality than employees in any other U.S. industry; according to the most recent annual Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the most recent "lost-workday" case rate for the construction industry was 5.7 per l00 full-time workers, the highest of the major economic sectors.
The Bureau of Labor Statistic reports that for the past ten years, 9605 people have died in construction-related accidents. In 1992, the number of deaths was 919 - however, through June of 2002, over 1150 construction accident related deaths have occurred. Almost half of these deaths are attributed to males between the ages of 20-24. In 1992, more than half of the construction accident deaths (544) occurred within this age segment.
