In the construction or industrial field, there is a term known as the “Fatal Four.” The Fatal Four are the four major industrial safety issues that occur every year causing serious injury or death.

Industrial safety is a major concern for both employee and employer because when it occurs, time is lost, wages are lost, not to mention there are medical and legal ramifications. As a manager or employer, eliminating the “Fatal Four” from your site is key to promoting industrial safety in your company. It has been estimated by OSHA that “elimination of the Fatal Four would save 468 workers’ lives in America every year.”
