Fatal occupational injuries are a global concern. In Israel, construction workers, especially foreign nationals, face disproportionately high fatality rates, primarily from falls, indicating inadequate safety measures.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Public Health
  • Trauma Research

Background:

  • Occupational fatal injuries represent a significant global health issue.
  • Specific industries exhibit higher risks for worker fatalities.
  • Israel has experienced a substantial influx of foreign workers in the past decade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate occupational injury death rates in Israel over a 30-month period.
  • To analyze trends in occupational fatalities, considering the increase in foreign workers.
  • To identify high-risk sectors and contributing factors to workplace deaths.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of occupational fatal injury data over 30 months in Israel.
  • Categorization of fatalities by industry, cause of death, and worker status (local vs. foreign).

  • Examination of demographic and circumstantial factors, including alcohol consumption.

    • Main Results:

    • Two-thirds of occupational fatalities occurred in the construction industry.
    • Falls from height leading to multiple trauma were the primary cause of death in construction.
    • Foreign workers constituted approximately one-third of construction fatalities, despite being only 20% of the workforce.

    Conclusions:

    • The construction industry in Israel presents a high risk for fatal occupational injuries.
    • Foreign workers in construction are overrepresented among fatalities, suggesting systemic safety issues.
    • Findings indicate insufficient attention to safety regulations, particularly for foreign workers.
