About This Industry
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.
On construction sites with multiple contractors, OSHA can cite more than one employer for the same hazard. Under the multi-employer citation policy, four types of employers may be cited: the creating employer (whose actions created the hazard), the exposing employer (whose workers are exposed), the correcting employer (responsible for fixing the hazard), and the controlling employer (with general supervisory authority over the site). General contractors are frequently cited as controlling employers.
