Ok - sorry I've really screwed this submission up. I think the points that many have made in the comments about the clickbaitiness and misleading nature/incorrect interpretation of the title I used are completely valid.
I had found it pretty shocking, given say the 37 average annual deaths in construction in a country like the UK which has over 20 times the population, so rushed to create a HN submission.
- Leherenn 5y agoApparently, the UK has roughly the same amount of construction workers as the number of migrants in Qatar (around 2M).

- Spare_account 5y agoHow many UK construction workers died in the last 10 years? Can we get that data from somewhere?
