Why Construction Accidents Occur

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) revealed that the construction industry was responsible for one in every five workplace deaths in 2020, higher than any other private-sector occupation. Three of the top five most-cited OSHA regulations in 2019-2020 were connected to construction site fall injuries.

Construction accidents can occur in a variety of circumstances. The following are some examples of common construction accidents:

  • Scaffolding mishaps
  • Falling from extensive heights
  • Being hit by a falling object
  • Crane mishaps
  • Ladder accidents
  • Injuries from forklifts
  • Accidents caused by unsafe equipment
  • Electrocution or electrical accidents
  • Trench failures
  • Welding mishaps
