The Fatal Four Construction Accidents

OSHA, the organization responsible for holding companies accountable for unsafe conditions, conducts an annual census of fatal occupational injuries. Every year, the same four incidents are at the top of the list of construction fatalities.

Dubbed the "Fatal Four," these incidents are:

• Falls
• Electrocution
• Being struck by an object
• Getting caught between objects

What ties these incidents together is their preventability. Up to 500 workers' lives could be saved every year if safety protocol were strictly followed. The most common of the Fatal Four, falling, often occurs as a direct result of unsafe scaffolding-something your employer is directly responsible for.

What could an injured worker hold an employer responsible for?

• Unsafe or poorly-constructed walkways
• Inadequate hiring or training of workers
• Forcing workers to work on an unsafe timetable
• Improperly-maintained dangerous equipment
