Rates were estimated using data from the Current Population Survey.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>An estimated 3,216,800 (95% CI 2,241,400\u20134,192,200) construction industry\u2010related injuries were seen in US emergency departments during the 8\u2010year period; this represented an injury rate of 410\/10,000 full\u2010time equivalents and suggests that there are a greater number of construction injuries than reported through the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (BLS SOII). Common characteristics included diagnoses of laceration, sprain\/strain, and contusion\/abrasion; events of contact with an object\/equipment, bodily reaction\/exertion, and falls; and sources of injury of parts\/materials; structures\/surfaces; and tools\/instruments\/equipment. The upper extremities were most often affected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These data highlight the high burden of nonfatal construction industry\u2010related injuries. The limitations of national occupational injury data sources inherent in relying on OSHA logs highlight the utility of NEISS\u2010Work data in occupational injury research. While data captured from emergency departments are not immune to factors that influence whether a worker or an employer reports an injury as work\u2010related or files a workers' compensation claim, emergency department data as collected through NEISS\u2010Work do not rely on employer involvement in order to be classified as work\u2010related.
