About 1.4 million or 12.3% of construction workers were age 60 or older. [41] One in five (19.7%) construction workers had a respiratory disease, and one in four (25.8%) had cancer, diabetes, or heart, kidney, or liver disease. [41] About 30% of construction workers were Hispanic who make up 17.7% of workers in all industries. [41]
Workers in exceptionally high noise environments, such as musicians, [36] mine workers, [37] and even those involved with stock car racing, [38] are at a much higher risk of developing hearing loss, when compared to other workers (e.g., factory workers, etc.).
Workers in the construction industry can be exposed to many ergonomic hazards. Construction work can involve floor and ground-level work, overhead work, hand-intensive work, and lifting, holding, and handling materials. [16] It is reported that back injuries in US construction were 50% higher than the average for all other US industries. [16]
Should the risk assessment establish that the required SIL cannot be achieved by a SIL4 SIF, then alternative arrangements must be designed, such as non-instrumented safeguards (e.g, a pressure relief valve). [1] There are several methods used to assign a SIL. These are normally used in combination, and may include: [1] Risk matrices; Risk graphs
The main application is the construction, erection and operation of industrial plants where the number of documents of all engineering disciplines may sum up to some 100,000 documents. During 2024, the new cross-standard ISO / IEC 81355 [ 2 ] will be published and will replace the second edition of IEC 61355-1 published in 2008.
Older workers are also more likely by be killed in a construction related fall. [6] They are also at higher risk for injury due to age-related hearing loss, [31] visual impairment, [32] and use of multiple prescription medications [33] that has been linked to higher rates of work injuries. [34]
