Re: Construction Industry more deadly than Iraq war
[ QUOTE ]
it's sorta interesting, but you probably need to go a level deeper to get the real picture. My dad was a construction lifer, other family members are.. I've never heard about any deaths. I'd assume the deaths are more heavily weighted towards the more dangerous subsets of construction (high rises, chemical facilities, etc).

The only breakdown I have is kind of old, but here is the breakdown for the causes of fatalities between years 1985-89:
Falls - 33%
Struck by - 22%
Caught in-between - 18%
Electrocution - 17%
Other - 10%
