National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) records indicate that between 1992 and 2005 falls to lower level, electrocution, highway incidents, and being struck by an object were the leading causes of death in construction. One-third of the fall-related deaths were falls from a roof, 18 percent were falls from scaffolding, and 16 percent were falls from ladders.
