According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 20.7 percent of the 4,674 worker fatalities in private industry in 2017, or one in every five worker deaths, were in construction. OSHA refers to the four most common causes of private sector worker deaths (excluding highway collisions) in the construction industry as the “Fatal Four.”
Falls, struck by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between are the Fatal Four. Caught-in/between includes construction workers killed when caught-in or compressed by equipment or objects, and struck, caught, or crushed in collapsing structure, equipment, or material.
Fatal Four deaths accounted for 59.9 percent of construction worker deaths in 2017. Falls accounted for 381 out of 971 total deaths, or 39.2 percent, in construction in 2017, struck by object accounted for 80 deaths or 8.2 percent, electrocutions accounted for 71 deaths or 7.3 percent, and caught-in/between accounted for 50 deaths or 5.1 percent.
Fall protection in construction, hazard communication standard in general industry, scaffolding general requirements in construction, respiratory protection in general industry, ladders in construction, powered industrial trucks in general industry, fall protection training requirements, machinery and machine guarding general requirements, and eye and face protection were the top 10 most frequently cited OSHA standards violated in fiscal year 2018 (October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018).

Contact us to get started. It is important to have the proper legal representation on your side if you’re involved in a motorcycle crash. Often wrongful blame is placed on the rider in a multi-vehicle collision due to the increased risk that comes with riding a motorcycle. Insurance companies are reluctant to side with the motorcyclist and oftentimes will attempt to place the full or partial blame on them. Don’t accept that blame and the legal repercussions that come with it.
