3 page essay
OSHA has identified four categories of hazards that account for more than 50% of all construction fatalities:
Falls (36.5%)
Struck by object (10.1%)
Electrocutions (8.6%)
Caught-in/between (2.5%)
The assignment is to write a research paper involving one of these four construction hazard categories. You may narrow
your topic down to a more specific type of accident within the major category.
For example, under falls, you could focus your
research on falls from ladders.
When writing the paper, consider the following questions:
1. What are the common causative factors?
2. What does data indicate?
3. What are the effective proven corrective measures?
3 pages minimum – APA – will provide three resources for references
