In the United States, during 2020: << Of the 1,008 construction worker deaths in 2020, 368 were from falls, slips, or trips, 247 were from transportation injuries, 174 were caused by exposure to harmful substances or environments, and 153 were the result of contact with an object or equipment. >>
Google also tells me by searching << united states Construction Workers 2020 >>: << Number of Jobs, 2020: 1,514,200 >>
That sounds rougly equivalent in total construction workers, but US is about 25% lower in rate of death.
What is more disturbing to me is the treatment of low-skill migrant workers in Qatar. It is terrifying, and it strikes me as the very definition of a modern slavery economy.
