Abstract: Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States, with 1,034 fatal occupational injuries among all construction workers and 74,520 nonfatal injuries among private wage-and-salary construction workers in 2020. A majority of fatal occupational injuries and a large proportion of nonfatal injuries result from Construction Focus Four hazards, which include falls to a lower level, struck-by, electrocutions, and caught-in/between injuries. This classification was created in 1994 in response to the impact the top four safety hazards have on construction workers.
