NAICS 237130: Utility System Construction / Construction
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of water and sewer lines, pipelines, power and communication lines, and related structures such as pumping stations and transformer stations.
Common workplace hazards include trench cave-ins during underground utility installation, electrocution from contact with live electrical systems, and struck-by incidents from excavation equipment. Workers may also face risks from traffic exposure in roadway work zones and confined space entry in manholes.
Construction consistently has the highest number of OSHA inspections for several reasons: the industry has one of the highest fatality rates of any sector, worksites change frequently (creating new hazards), many construction operations are visible from public areas (making observation easier), and OSHA runs multiple National Emphasis Programs targeting construction hazards. The transient nature of construction work also means new employers continuously enter the inspection pool.
