Construction workers face numerous occupational health hazards, including dusts, fumes, mists, and gases, as well as physical hazards like heat, cold, wind, rain, and ultra-violet rays. These workers are at risk for occupational accidents, occupational poisonings, chronic diseases, musculoskeletal issues, social stress, work-related diseases, injury, and death. The intermittent nature of construction work, heavy workload, and limited social support contribute to increased stress. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over half of occupational injuries and deaths worldwide occur among construction building workers. The main causes of construction worker deaths include falls, object strikes, electrocution, and caught-in/between objects. Accurate risk assessment depends on an individual's risk perception and tolerance.
