According to the International Labor Organization (ILO) there are at least 600,000 fatal construction accidents around the world every year – one every 10 minutes. The direct and indirect costs of construction accidents worldwide total more than USD 1 trillion every year. As awareness of the safety risks of construction grows, many countries have implemented strict regulations and standards.
