Leading Causes of Serious and Fatal Injuries in Construction
When you work in construction, you face risks in virtually everything you do. From driving on the highway to working in close proximity to exposed wiring or flying debris, if you are on the clock, there is a chance that you could suddenly and unexpectedly suffer a life-changing injury. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the five most-common causes of serious and fatal injuries among construction workers are:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Falling from heights (including falls from roofs, ladders and scaffolding)
- Being struck by debris, falling tools and other flying objects
- Electrocutions
- Being caught in or between moving and stationary objects (such as being pinned by a reversing truck or buried under a load of dirt or gravel)
Other common factors in serious and fatal construction accidents include:
- Inadequate hazard communication and safety compliance
- Lack of access to respiratory protection
- Lack of access to eye and face protection
- Missing guards on power tools, equipment and heavy machinery
- Negligent operation of forklifts and other heavy machinery
- Negligent supervision of employees and hiring inexperienced workers
- Use of dangerous, defective and poorly-maintained tools and safety equipment
With each of these types of accidents, securing compensation starts with identifying the party (or parties) that are responsible. Depending upon the circumstances involved, contractors, subcontractors, property owners, product manufacturers, architects, engineers, and various other parties could all potentially be to blame.
