According to an OSHA report, there are four types of accidents that are to most common types of accidents that occur at a construction site. The report lists these common construction accidents as the “fatal four” due to these four specific types of accidents causing so much injury and fatalities among construction workers. Most of the construction injuries listed caused a large amount of fatalities or serious injuries each year and attributed to 3 out of 5 deaths each year for construction workers. The four most common construct accidents include:
  • Falling – is the most common of the fatal four and is the most common cause of construction injury and death each year. It is listed as 35% of the total fatalities for construction accidents.
  • Being Hit by Object- is the second most common of the fatal four. Objects falling or hitting is dangerous part of working in construction. Being hit by object can include several objects include equipment, tools, parts, material, or even debris.
  • Electrocution- comes in third in the list of most common accidents that occur at a construction site. Electrocutions is always a high risk at a construction site and construction workers always should always be careful when dealing with high voltage or working near power lines.  
  • Caught In/Between- is the final of the fatal four, this is explained as a worker being caught in something or between something at a construction site. This is usually because of equipment or negligence of a third party.
