Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States, with over 1,000 fatal injuries each year since 2016. Around two-thirds of those were caused by the Construction Focus Four hazards: fall to lower level, struck-by, electrocution, and caught-in/between injuries.
This dashboard summarizes fatal Focus Four injury trends in construction. The dashboard examines these fatalities by injury type and major subsector, using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI).
Dashboard instructions and information on filters, charts, and definitions are included in the information icon located to the right of the dashboard title.
You can download the data as a spreadsheet.Each worksheet’s name is based on the corresponding dashboard chart. If you have questions or comments, please email [email protected].
