The Dangers of Dropped Objects

According to The Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), struck-by incidents are the second leading cause of death among construction workers, and the leading cause of nonfatal injuries. Struck-by hazards are present on nearly every job site.

Several factors increase the severity risk of injuries, including the shape of the object, the height from which the object falls and its weight. The infographic, “How Heavy is Deadly,” illustrates how falling objects can become deadly, but accidents can be avoided with careful planning and training.
