Common Injuries Due to Construction Accidents
With pressure to cut costs and meet deadlines, construction sites can be very dangerous places to work. At busy construction sites, it is not unusual to have many workers operating dangerous tools in close proximity of one another.
To get the job done quickly, supervisors may cut corners on worker safety, such as providing safety harnesses and stable scaffolding. Then, in an instant, a devastating construction accident can occur that changes the life of one or more workers.
Common construction site accidents include the following:
- Electrical accidents or contact with power lines
- Faulty or mishandled power tools
- Bulldozer or crane accidents
- Falls from roofs or scaffolds
- Explosions
- Falls into elevator shafts or holes in floors
