It’s the nature of the work.
Construction is no easy task – it involves lifting, transporting materials, operating equipment, drilling, hammering and a host of other duties. It often involves manual, challenging work that is often dangerous.
The nature of those tasks puts workers at risk for a variety of injuries, from slips and falls to burns and machinery collisions. Construction workers experienced the second-highest rate of fatal injuries from 2015-2109, after transportation workers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, published in December 2020. And that number was up from previous years. Construction and extraction workers had a 6% increase in fatal injuries in 2019, to 1,066 deaths. That’s the highest number since 2007.

As a chemical engineer with a PhD in environmental and occupational hygiene, Ceballos was working at the time as an industrial hygienist for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), where she measured and analyzed the impact of workplace hazards on workers’ health which is one of the federal agencies within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
