Construction Industry Has Highest Number of Fatal Traumatic Brain Injuries in US Workplace

TBI is an important topic for public health researchers, but there has been a lack of attention paid to the investigation of brain injuries occurring in the workplace.  With limited resources available for occupational safety and health programs, identifying and targeting of high-risk populations  should be a priority for industry in developing focused and tailored prevention strategies. Future research should enumerate and describe nonfatal occupational TBIs in the US.
