Understanding Construction’s “Fatal Four”

Construction sites are bustling with dangerous activities and equipment. In an ideal world, all of these activities are carefully choreographed and every employee is trained on how to best do their job. In reality, however, an average of two construction workers die each day in the U.S. According to OSHA, 20.7% of worker fatalities are construction workers. OSHA attributes this statistical phenomenon, in which 1 in 5 worker deaths occurs in construction, to the “fatal four.” 

In 2017, Almost 70% Of Construction Worker Deaths Were Caused by the Following Accidents:

  • Falls (39.2%)
  • Struck by object(s) (8.2%)
  • Electrocutions (7.3%)
  • Caught-in/between accidents (5.1%)

By following safety standards and eliminating the fatal four, OSHA estimates that the construction industry could prevent at least 582 deaths per year in the U.S.
