The safety of workers on construction sites is not just a statistic; it’s a matter of life and death. In 2020 alone, there were a staggering 174,100 reported construction injuries and 1,034 tragic deaths, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. These incidents are not just numbers; they represent real people, families and communities devastated by these accidents. Moreover, the financial impact is staggering, with worker’s compensation costs exceeding $7 billion annually. These figures should serve as a sobering reminder of the urgent need for robust safety measures to protect every worker and prevent these heartbreaking incidents from occurring.
