NAICS 237110: 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.
OSHA's Focus Four identifies the four leading causes of fatalities in the construction industry: falls, struck-by incidents, electrocution, and caught-in/between hazards. Together these account for the majority of construction worker deaths each year. OSHA's construction standards under 29 CFR 1926 specifically address each of these hazard categories, and they are a primary focus of programmed construction inspections.
