construction site injury
Construction workers face some of the most dangerous working conditions in the country on a daily basis. Although there are regulations, statutes, ordinances and industry standards that mandate employers must provide a reasonably safe working environment, construction workers still suffer serious injuries at an alarming rate.
The sheer number of hazards on a construction site makes it virtually impossible to prevent all injuries from occurring. From falls off scaffolds and other elevations, to being struck by moving or falling machinery, electrocution, health hazards resulting from exposure to asbestos and chemicals, injuries caused by defective or unsafe equipment, and lifting and repetitive motion injuries, the hazards on the job are unlimited.
