Fatal and Nonfatal Injuries from Falls in Construction

1. Fatality numbers were estimated from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. This research was conducted with restricted access to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. The views

expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of the BLS. Calculations by CPWR Data Center.

5. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. 2012. Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/construction/stopfalls.html (Accessed August 2012).

Falls are the number one cause of fatal injuries in construction

(see page 43). Although overall fatalities declined (see page 38), in 2010, falls still caused 267 deaths in construction, accounting

for about one-third of construction fatalities that year. Overall,

6,858 construction workers died from fall injuries between 1992

and 2010, about 360 deaths annually (chart 44a).

From 2008 to 2010, the largest number of fatal falls (579

deaths) in construction occurred among Specialty Trade

Contractors (NAICS 238; see page 1 for industry classifications and codes), but falls accounted for a larger proportion (48.7%, 135

deaths) of all fatalities in Residential Building Construction

(NAICS 23611).1 Establishments in these two sectors are relative-

ly small, and about 55% of all fatal falls in construction occurred

in establishments with 1-10 employees from 2008-2010 (chart

44b). This was disproportionately high, given that less than 30%

of construction workers were employed in establishments of this

size (see page 2). The risk of fatal falls varies among construction occu-

pations. Between 2008 and 2010, the annual rate of fatal falls in

construction was 3.2 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers (FTEs; see Glossary; chart 44c), but the risk for electrical power- line installers (28.5 per 100,000 FTEs) was nearly nine times the

rate in construction, followed by a rate of 23.8 per 100,000 FTEs

for both roofers and ironworkers. In addition, the risk of falls dif-

fers by demographics. Older construction workers had higher

rates of fatal falls than their younger counterparts.2 A higher risk

of fatal falls was also found among Hispanic construction work-

ers, particularly among those who were foreign-born.3

Falls cause severe nonfatal injuries as well. In 2010,

falls led to 18,130 nonfatal injuries resulting in days away from

work (DAFW), accounting for 24% of the nonfatal injuries in

construction (see page 43). The rate of nonfatal fall injuries in construction was 50% higher than all industries combined.4

Within construction, ironworkers had the highest rate of nonfatal

falls resulting in DAFW at 75.1 per 10,000 FTEs, followed by

sheet metal workers and roofers (chart 44d).

Causes of fatal and nonfatal falls are different. Between

2008 and 2010, about 97% of fatal falls in construction resulted

from falls to a lower level.1 The primary cause of fall fatalities in

construction was falling from roofs, accounting for one-third of

the fatal falls (chart 44e), whereas falls on the same level were a

common cause of nonfatal injuries (39.5%; chart 44f).

To prevent construction worker falls, the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and part-

ners have launched a national construction falls prevention cam-

paign, encouraging everyone in the industry (particularly resi-

dential construction contractors and workers) to work safely and

use the proper equipment to reduce falls.5

Note: Chart 44b – Deaths of self-employed workers and those without information on establishment size were excluded. Chart 44e – “Other” causes include jump to a lower level; fall on the same level; fall to a lower level unspecified; and fall down stairs or steps. Total may not add to 100% due to

rounding.

Chart 44f – “Other” causes include jump to a lower level; fall from floor, dock, or ground level; fall from building girders or other structural steel; fall to a lower

level n.e.c./unspecified; and fall down stairs or steps. Data covers the private industry only and excludes the self-employed. Total may not add to 100% due to rounding.
