As of 2023, construction’s preventable injury death rate has increased to 3.1 per 100,000 workers. Occupational struck-by incidents resulted in 150 deaths and 14,000 nonfatal injuries in the construction sector.[[2](https://www.skillsignal.com/resource/constructions-safety-statistics/)]. With such staggering stats, it’s important to take all the necessary safety precautions while working at a construction site[[3](https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/04/04/2023-struck-by-stand-down/)]. At the same time, those affected by these accidents must know their rights and seek justice.
