Fatal Four (OSHA)

The "Fatal Four" refers to the four leading causes of death in construction work, identified by OSHA. These are falls, struck-by objects, electrocutions, and caught-in or between incidents. They account for about 60% of construction worker deaths annually. OSHA emphasizes preventive measures such as proper training, safety equipment, and adherence to safety protocols to reduce these risks. Understanding and addressing these hazards is crucial to maintaining a safe construction environment and protecting workers from serious injury or death.
