Beyond the construction fatalities, there are many more severe injuries, which include severe traumatic brain injury, quadriplegia injury and paraplegia injury.
These catastrophic construction injuries are commonly caused by the following construction site hazards:
- Falls from height that include falls from roof, ladders or scaffolding make up 1/3 of all construction fatalities.
- Trench accidents are very danger because of the sheer weight of the soil collapsing on a worker during a cave-in.
