According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2015, there were more than 1,170 deaths and 480,600 injuries and illnesses in the construction industry. Many of these deaths resulted from falls from roofs, scaffolds, ladders, building girders and other structures — and 40% of fatalities occurred among workers under 18 years old. In construction, there are 16 times more injuries than in the chemical or steel industries; 7 times more injuries than in the cement industry; and 4 times more injuries than in the shipbuilding industry.
