This type of injury disproportionately fatal to construction workers
Caught-in or between injuries killed more construction workers than those in any other industry between 2011 and 2015, according to a new CPWR Quarterly Data Report from the Center for Construction Research & Training.
The injury category includes workers killed when trenches, walls, equipment, or materials collapse, as well as people pinched/compressed between objects and equipment or caught in moving machinery. It is one of OSHA's Focus Four causes of occupational fatalities in the construction industry.
