Released last week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), data from 2015 shows a dramatic drop in the incident rate of injuries and illnesses at ready mixed concrete plants. Injuries and illnesses occurred at a staggering rate of 6.3 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers (known as the incident rate) at ready mixed concrete plants in 2014. That number dropped to its lowest in a decade in 2015, down to just 4.0. NRMCA attributes the rate drop to increased industry awareness, communication, NRMCA education courses and enhanced guidance on industry safety programs.
