The fatality rate for construction workers in the private construction industry was 12 per hundred thousand (100,000) workers in 2004 which is fourth highest among all the industry sectors while the average for all industries is 4.1.
Injuries and Illness at the work continues to be a key factor for workers reporting away from work and hence is a major factor in reduced productivity and also affecting workers ability to earn more.
With all the factors above and continuous efforts by OSHA and other government organizations, it is imperative for construction companies to get their workers trained as well as the construction workers to avoid fatal injuries, loss of pay etc.
