According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor, Texas holds the unfortunate distinction of being the most dangerous state in which to work, particularly in the construction industry.

The common causes of construction accidents include; negligence by the employer to provide necessary training regarding the use of equipment, or if the equipment itself has deteriorated from age or is in total disrepair, improper storage of materials, lackadaisical supervision, slovenly inspections, unmarked dangers, or general non-compliance with safety regulations and regimens along with code violations.
