1,075 families changed forever in 2023.

Every number is a name. Every statistic is a family.

Construction fatalities hit 1,075 in 2023, the highest since 2011. Hispanic workers face disproportionate risk, with language barriers and lack of safety training contributing to preventable deaths. The OSHA “Fatal Four” account for nearly 70% of all deaths.

Four causes. Four solutions. This is why HCC exists.
