Out of 4,101* worker fatalities in private industry in calendar year 2013, 828 or 20.2% were in construction―that is, one in five worker deaths last year were in construction. The leading causes of worker deaths on construction sites were falls, followed by struck by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between.
These "Fatal Four" were responsible for more than half (57.7%) the construction worker deaths in 2013*, BLS reports. Eliminating the Fatal Four would save 478 workers' lives in America every year.
Falls — 302 out of 828 total deaths in construction in CY 2013 (36.5%)
Struck by Object — 84 (10.1%)
Electrocutions — 71 (8.6%)
