As light commercial construction work increases, so do job site hazards and injury risks. Construction companies must be diligent to ensure the safest possible conditions for their workers.

Job-related injury and illness during construction are 7.1 per 100 full-time employees (considerably high compared to a 5.3 rate for all private businesses). Nearly two-thirds of construction fatalities were a result of the Focus Four hazards: caught-in or caught-between incidents, electrocution, falls, or struck-by incidents.

Increased demand has made it difficult for construction firms to find experienced and qualified workers. Inexperience can increase the risk of injury to everyone on the job site.

Accidents involving vehicles or equipment have been an additional source of construction workplace injuries.

Pike Consulting Group provides specialized safety training, site inspections, safety guidance systems and support for light commercial construction companies.

Residential construction is a high-risk industry due to the exposure to work-related safety hazards and fall injuries.

The residential builder is the 2nd most cited industry group in all OSHA standards. Of the $58 million in OSHA penalties issued to construction, employers with fewer than 20 employees account for $45.6 million of the total.

Last year, primary contractors and subcontractors in Georgia accumulated over $4 million in OSHA penalties. The increased rate of citations issued in the residential construction sectors indicates OSHA has no intention of moving their focus from residential construction.

We predict in the next five years, OSHA will have increased its concentration in the residential construction sector with planned monthly visits to a majority of residential construction job sites.

Pike Consulting Group provides specialized safety training and guidance for residential builders.

City, County, and Public Works crews encounter hazardous situations in buildings, treatment plants, construction sites, along roads and up in the trees. According to recent Department of Labor statistics, workplace injuries and deaths among government employees rank number 4 among industries.

Government employees with safety training are less likely to put themselves in dangerous situations. It's considered to be good policy to have city and county employees trained to at least the minimum federal standard. In the event, an accident occurs, having trained workers provides a reasonable defense that employees are trained and equipped with the knowledge and proper equipment to conduct their job safely and efficiently. It is also considered an excellent policy to retrain employees every 3-5 years.

Safety compliance is a critical responsibility for businesses in transportation, warehousing and logistics.

Improper lifting, reaching, pulling, and pushing can also cause injuries for warehouse and transportation workers.
