Abstract
Construction is one of the largest industries in the United States, employing over 7.5 million people. It accounts for 3 times as many accidents as might be expected on a per capita basis. Laborers represent one of 15 job classifications participating in this industry. They have a higher risk of death or injury from a number of causes than do other construction workers.
