- Abstract
- The construction industry in the United States accounts for approximately 10% of the GNP with an annual dollar volume of about $450 billion. Five percent of the nation's workforce is employed in the construction industry and yet that 5 percent experiences a disproportionate 20 percent of all traumatic occupational fatalities and 12 percent of the total number of disabling injuries. This corresponds to 6 to 10 fatalities on construction sites every working day throughout the United States. The purpose of the construction safety self-assessment process described in this document is to provide management with a simplistic decision support model to improve project safety performance.
