Common Construction Site Accidents | Construction Accident Attorneys

We hope that we are safe when we are working our jobs, but construction workers often face dangers while at work and have one of the highest rates of accidents, injury, and death while on the job. What are some of the most common types of construction site accident?

· Construction site slips and falls. Construction sites are often works in progress - and many times workers find themselves working high off the ground, next to holes, or on uneven ground. Without the proper safety equipment and safety training, this can lead to serious injury from falls.

· Contact with construction site equipment. Working construction means moving extremely heavy objects under a variety of conditions. In many cases, this involves cranes, bulldozers, front loaders, and other heavy equipment. Unfortunately, such large machines can lead to serious construction site injuries.

· Construction site fires and explosions. Unlike an office job, construction workers find themselves in an environment rife with exposed wiring, leaking pipes, dangerous gases, and other fire hazards. A construction site blast or fire can injure dozens of workers.

· Construction site falling objects. Construction sites rarely operate on one level - often workers are building up or digging. At any time, a worker may be struck on the head by a falling tool or a falling piece of material. A falling beam or slab of concrete can lead to serious injuries as well as death from blunt force trauma.

· Overexertion. Workers often have to work in extreme conditions doing hard labor for many hours. This can lead to heat stroke, repetitive movement injuries, and other health issues.
