This study evaluated proportionate mortality patterns among all male construction workers in North Carolina who resided and died in North Carolina during the period 1988-1994. Proportionate Mortality Ratios (PMRs) and Proportionate Cancer Mortality Ratios (PCMRs) compared the number of deaths among male construction workers with the number of deaths expected based on the gender, race, and cause-specific mortality experience of the entire North Carolina population by five-year age groups for the…

All-cause and cause specific mortality in a cohort of 20 000 construction workers; results from a 10 year follow up
TLDR
Fatal injuries due to falls and being struck by falling objects pose particular health hazards among construction workers, and the lower than expected cancer mortality deserves careful interpretation and further follow up.

Mortality of older construction and craft workers employed at department of energy (DOE) nuclear sites: follow-up through 2011.
TLDR
