ISN's newest whitepaper analyses over 60 000 serious injuries and fatalities within contractor companies

Highlights from the SIF Insights report include:

• While days away from work decreased by 61% from 2019 to 2020, the analysis from ISN showed a three year average SIF rate of 391 incidents per 100 000 workers spiking drastically in 2020 to 429 incidents per 100 000 workers.
• A higher number of SIFs are seen during the summer months, particularly July (average of 587 monthly incidents across the three years analysed) and August (average of 579 monthly incidents).
• Due to the high-risk nature of the tasks performed, 42% of all SIFs and 48% of fatalities in 2020 occurred among contractors in the construction space.
• The statistically significant leading indicators that had a strong correlation to higher SIF rates included operating a commercial vehicle (69% higher SIF rate) and receiving a citation within the last three years (43% higher SIF rate).
