I have no number specifically for the constructions sector but in 2018, there were 5250[1] death attributed to work in the USA for 327,2 millions, which 16 deaths for 1 million inhabitants. This number was 136[1] deaths for 11.4 millions or 11.86 for 1 million. But the construction sector in the USA is so protected that if I was working in this sector I suppose I would still prefer to work in the states (higher pay for low qualified work). In western europe those jobs are mostly filled by eastern european or immigrants.
