In this ever-changing world there is a need for people to continue to shape and build it. Especially in the United States, with our mile-high skyscrapers and superhighways. Construction workers are a vital part of our society and are needed to keep it moving and growing. Construction workers are often employed by government agencies, private companies, and unions. “There are more than 6 million construction workers in the United States (about 6% of the workforce), and construction workers experience some of the highest rates of fatal and non-fatal injuries resulting in lost work days.” (Sweeney, Becker, Bryant, & Palassis, 1999) Construction workers are both men and women, for many the hours are long and arduous, especially in areas where construction is difficult to complete in the winter. “In 2008, about 18 percent of construction workers worked 45 hours or more per week.” (Choi, p.215) Working long hours and usually on holidays and weekends can make it difficult for these workers to manage their time and stress efficiently, which could easily impact their job and that of the colleagues around them. These workplace injuries not only impact the individual and those they work with, but they also impact the industry as a whole. In this paper we will evaluate construction site promotion programs that work to create a safer working environment and to find the cause of these work-related injuries, including lack of safety equipment or knowledge on how to use safety equipment correctly . Stress management and its impact on the workplace will be considered. And finally the use of adequate work equipment that can reduce the incidence of accidents at work. their work when they report an accident at work. “A large body of evidence indicates that illnesses, traumatic injuries, and deaths are more prevalent among construction workers than any other occupational group in the United States or other industrialized nations.” (Moore, Cigularov, Sampson, Rosecrance, & Chen, p. 97) This means that when injuries go unreported, employees are exposed to greater risk, “failure to report injuries and illnesses can compromise the accuracy of reporting data. surveillance, thus hindering the correct and timely identification of areas for organizational or sector interventions. (Moore, Cigularov, Sampson, Rosecrance, & Chen, p. 98) Based on a report investigating barriers to reporting workplace injuries, researchers found that “workers were dealing with workplace injuries
