Twelve of the 25 most dangerous jobs as measured by the rate of people who die at work are in the construction industry, according to a recent report from business insurance analysis firm AdvisorSmith. The new data come even as overall safety rates for both fatal and nonfatal injuries within construction improved between 1992 and 2015, with fatal outcomes down about 30% over that time period, according to the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), a Silver Spring, Maryland-based safety consultancy. But on a relative basis, as the AdvisorSmith report shows, construction still accounts for nearly half of the most deadliest jobs in America.
