Construction in the U.S. is a significant industry by accounting for over 4.5% of the annual GDP and 8% of the entire workforce. However, the construction industry also accounts for over 21.7% of fatalities annually and has had over 6000 fatalities between the years 2003-2007. Fall fatalities have been targeted as one of the most serious areas within these fatalities. Many of these deaths are also located in the under 50K range of projects. This is particularly important considering that these contractors typically have limited resources to complete their job. There have been studies that have looked at construction falls and have confirmed the seriousness of construction falls but pointed out that certain areas can be looked at to devise preventative measures. Through project level analysis contractors can strategically manage resources to best prepare specific work groups for high risk activities identified in this paper. This thesis will also point out a need for more project level data within fatality reports, and a better regulated process of filling them out. Finally, this thesis plans to analyze how violations are attributed to these fatalities.

The construction industry is essential for providing employment opportunities and plays a crucial role in the economy of every country worldwide. Despite being a vital sector, it is also one of the most hazardous industries, with fatal and non-fatal injuries occurring frequently due to its unique nature. Falls from height are the deadliest type of accident in the construction industry, accounting for one-third of all fatalities in the industry in the United States. This study investigated the various factors that contribute to falling accidents among construction workers and determined the nature and direction of associations between fall accidents and most predictor variables such as Trade types, Location of Falls, Musculoskeletal pains, Working hour, Age, Safety knowledge, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and Sleep hours. Data were collected from workers in different occupations across various construction companies. A quantitative method through SPSS software was used to analyze the data collected from an onsite questionnaire survey based on approved IRB. The objective of the planned research was to examine and evaluate different risk factors and their impact on fall accidents using statistical analysis. The study determined the specific effects of these risk factors on fall accidents and presented the nature and direction of the relationships between them. By doing so, the study offered valuable insights into the development of efficient safety measures to prevent fall accidents in construction industries.
