Statistics show construction worker deaths account for about 20.7% of total worker fatalities. In 2017, there were 4,674 reported fatalities in the workplace. Nine hundred seventy-one of them worked in the construction site industry. That means for every five worker deaths, one is related to construction. High-risk construction site workers include those above 55, those who work from high places, and those who move heavy objects. Workers who operate heavy machines and equipment also have a higher accident risk. Of all the industries, construction poses the highest risks of accidents, injuries, and deaths. This industry remains very dangerous despite efforts to make the workplace safer for workers.
