WNYC News | Feb 19, 2024

A new report finds construction deaths are trending up in New York City for the third year in a row, even as they decrease statewide.

The nonprofit New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health says 24 construction workers died in the city in 2022, the last year for which data is available. That's compared to 20 in 2021, and 13 in 2020.
