    Dump trucks are used to transport loose materials and have hydraulically operated dump bodies. OSHA statistics show that dump trucks are involved in around 3% of construction fatalities annually, primarily due to people being run over, tip-overs from uneven ground, and electrocutions from hitting power lines. OSHA regulations require dump trucks to have multiple braking systems, lights, warning devices, protective cabs and canopies, seat belts, and to be checked before each shift to ensure safe operating conditions.
