Preventing Construction Accidents

The Centers for Disease Control state, "Construction accounted for 1,178 fatal work injuries, the most of any industry sector in 2007." This number does not include the numerous construction injuries that prevent the injured worker from ever returning to work in the construction industry.

Construction workers and their families should be asking their employers what they will be doing to reduce that figure. Construction workers can get increase the safety of their jobsite by reporting accidents, demanding safety inspections, and working with construction companies to help make the jobsite as safe as possible.

Many construction accidents can be prevented by following construction safety protocols and reporting work hazards before an injury occurs.
