Working in a Dangerous Industry
Construction work involves risks for every employee as well as passers-by. A major accident such as a crane collapse can injure everyone in its wake. Additional hazards include working at elevated heights and using heavy equipment and dangerous machinery.
Because there are usually multiple employers, workers often have varying levels of training and experience, which makes construction sites even more dangerous. The presence of multiple employers can also lead to miscommunications and variations in safety procedures.
Examples of Construction Accidents
Frequent construction site accidents include:
- Scaffolding accidents and falls
- Ladder falls
- Demolition and renovation accidents
- Excavation accidents
- Bricklaying and masonry accidents
These accidents can result in injuries ranging from broken bones to amputations and brain injuries. Cumulative trauma from repetitive stress to the back, legs, arms and joints can also cause temporary or permanent disability.
