In 2019, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported more than 195,600 injuries in the construction industry, putting it among the top 10 largest contributors of job-related injuries in the private sector. And while many of the impacted businesses likely had careful planning in place, these statistics show incidents and injuries are an everyday risk in construction. Having a consistent, efficient and transparent process to report, investigate, and record incidents can help minimize disruption to a business’s workforce and get employees back on their feet.
