The answer would be A. According to the statistics, 54% of worker deaths on construction sites were falls, and then followed by struck by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between which is also known as "Fatal Four" accidents. To add, removing the Fatal Four would save 419 workers’ lives in America annually.
