Construction Assignment
Instructions
OSHA has identified four categories of hazards that account for more than 50% of all construction fatalities:
• Falls (36.5%)
• Struck by object (10.1%)
• Electrocutions (8.6%)
• Caught-in/between (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?
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
