[Liverpool, 20/01/2020] – Construction is the second most dangerous field to work in, next to agriculture. This is because it has one of the highest records of muscle and skeletal injuries among employees.

From 2017 to 2018, the latest data, almost 2,500 out of 100,000 construction workers sustained musculoskeletal disorders on the job. The Health and Safety Executive, a government agency in the UK responsible for enforcing workplace safety and health, listed more than 30 fatalities in UK construction sitesin 2018. Such injuries and deaths are often caused by a combination of improper handling of goods and repetitive action.

The prevalence of serious injuries and deaths calls for better training of site supervisorsto ensure a safe workplace for everyone in the field.
