About Construction Accident Statistics

Construction is one of the most dangerous industries, with many construction accidents occurring every year. Numerous governmental departments track construction accident statistics. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), construction accidents caused the most number of fatal work injuries out of any industry sector in 2007, with 1,178 fatalities reported. Of every construction job, construction laborers reported the highest number of fatal work injuries. Falls accounted for most of the fatal construction accident injuries.

Common Construction Accidents

Every year, one out of 10 construction workers will suffer from a construction accident injury. Common construction accidents include falls, strikes from outside objects, and electrocutions. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, construction workers between the ages of 25 and 34 are most likely to be injured in a construction accident, though of course an accident can happen to a worker of any age. States are implementing tougher rules to ensure worker safety, but it is impossible to always prevent accidents from occurring. Non-fatal accidents can include things like broken bones, burns, and other injuries. Even if a worker is involved in a non-fatal accident, he or she may sustain injuries that make it difficult or impossible to return to work.

Ensuring Accurate Construction Accident Statistics

To help maintain accurate construction accident statistics, and for your own safety, you should always report even minor construction accidents. Reporting construction accidents can help prevent similar accidents from happening in the future and can help keep construction accident statistics accurate. One should never accept a construction accident injury as just another part of their job. If you or someone you know has been involved in a construction accident, you should report it immediately.
