Construction still among most dangerous jobs By Brian Johnson, Twin Cities Finance and Commerce, MN
The 70-page report, released in May, examines job-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities in Minnesota from 1998 through 2002. It’s based on two studies conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — the Survey of Occupational Injuries and the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries.
Construction ranked second behind agriculture/forestry/fishing when it came to job-related deaths from 1998 to 2002. Seventy-eight construction workers died on Minnesota job sites during those years, the report noted, while 92 fatalities occurred in agriculture/forestry/fishing.
Although construction accounted for only 5.6 percent of private-sector employment, the reported showed that 9.2 percent of all work-related injury and illness cases were in the construction industry.------------------------------------------- posted 6:34 AM :: reference link ::
