Based on a national stratified probability sample of US hospitals with 24\u2009hr emergency services, NEISS\u2010Work allows calculation of national injury estimates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over the 8\u2010year period between 1998 and 2005, we estimated 786,900 (95% CI 546,600\u20131,027,200) ED\u2010treated tool\u2010 or equipment\u2010related injuries identified by the primary or secondary source of injury code. These injuries accounted for a quarter of all ED\u2010treated construction industry injuries. Although over 100 different tools or pieces of equipment were responsible for these injuries, seven were responsible for over 65% of the injury burden: ladders, nail guns, power saws, hammers, knives, power drills, and welding tools in decreasing order.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Current injury estimates and their severity, marked by the proportion of cases that were not released after ED treatment, indicate interventions are particularly needed to prevent injuries associated with use of ladders as well as nail guns and power saws. Attention should focus on design and guarding to more efficiently prevent these injuries rather than simply calling for the training of workers in how to safely use a dangerous tool or piece of equipment.
