According to the Jere Beasley Report, based upon the latest national census of fatal occupational injuries form the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics,workers who are required climb cell towers and other communication structures throughout the country have been identified as having the most dangerous job in America.

In previous years, inaccurate Occupational Health and Safety Administration coding and an unknown total of tower climbers prevented the tower erection and maintenance industry from revealing the most fatalities per 100,000 workers. Tower climbers are on of the smallest specialized construction groups with less than 10,000 employees nationwide. OSHA, the National Institute of Safety and Health, and the communications construction industry universally agree that there are too many fatalities every year from workers falling from telecommunications towers.

In April, fiver workers fell to their deaths from mobile phone towers in the space of 12 days, and an additional death in May.
