Tigani reports declining construction injuries and fatalities

As we shared during the recent hearing on the mayor's housing plan, construction sites are safer than they have been in previous years.

Proactive and complaint-based inspections.

Industry outreach and engagement and mandatory site safety training for workers have contributed to this progress.

We believe that training is a key component that directly correlates to the downward trend in construction-related injuries and fatalities.

Since calendar year 2023, the number of construction-related injuries on job sites have steadily decreased.

In calendar year 23, there were 692 reported injuries compared to 482 in calendar year 2024, a 30% decrease.

In calendar year 2025, there were 320 reported injuries, marking a 34% decrease from the year before.

And as of September.

There has been 266 reported injuries thus far for calendar year 2026.

Meanwhile, there were seven construction-related fatalities in calendar year 2023 and calendar year 2024-10.

There were seven construction-related fatalities in calendar year 2023, 10 in calendar year 2025, and four so far in 2026.

I want to underscore this.

There is no such thing as an acceptable injury or a fatality on a construction site.

We believe with training, education, outreach, those incidents are preventable, and we have to work harder to make it so.
