Analysis of Construction Fatalities - The OSHA
Database 1985-1989
Published by: Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA), US Department of Labor
This report presents the results of an analysis of
the 3,496 construction fatalities investigated by
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
and included in the Agency's Integrated Management
Information System data base for the period 1985 to
1989. The analysis considered the variation of the
number of fatalities over the 5-year period and the
influence of factors such as geography and
characteristics of the workforce, e.g., industry
group, age, and union affiliation on these fatality
statistics. The analysis also examined the causes of
fatalities and the factors influencing accidents.
Statistics from the OSHA data base are compared with
construction fatality data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health and the National Safety Council.
