The Engineering & Construction (E&C) industry is one of the world’s largest sectors of the economy with $10 TRILLION spent on construction-related goods & services each year.
There were over 10 MILLION workers in the U.S. construction industry (as of 2018).
60% of OSHA inspections were in the construction industry (as of 2016).
Projected GROWTH of the industry: Number of CONSTRUCTION WORKER DEATHS — ON THE RISE
