OSHA has identified four categories of hazards that account for more than 50% of all construction fatalities:

·Falls—(36.5%)

·Struck by object—84 (10.1%)

·Electrocutions—71 (8.6%)

·Caught-in/between—21 (2.5%)

The assignment is to write a research paper involving one of these four construction hazard categories. You may narrow your topic down to a more specific type of accident within the major category. For example, under falls, you could focus

your research on falls from ladders. When writing the paper, consider the following questions:

1.What are the common causative factors?

2.What does data indicate?

3.What are the effective proven corrective measures?

Remember that a significant aspect of any research paper is the summary analysis by the writer of that research (in this case, you).The submission must be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title page or reference page. A minimum of three scholarly reference sources must be used.
