Many times construction work pays well but this is one of the most accident prone professions in America. Usually on a construction site there are dozens of people rushing about, along with heavy equipment moving skids of materials and other objects. Each year the construction fatalities rise in spite of new and stronger safety measures.
Heavy objects can fall on a worker from several stories up. Accidents like these simply can’t be avoided. Inexperienced machinery operators may get careless causing injury to workers nearby. Contractors are always in a hurry to get this project finished and move on to the next. This can cause them to cut corners. Taking the proper safety measures may not be a priority on a job site.
Avoiding Construction Accidents
By nature accidents cannot be avoided all the time. But construction companies do have a responsibility to their workers to do everything in their power to ensure safe working conditions. What happens many times is that workers are aware that some of the safety regulations are not being followed, but they don’t say anything about this because they don’t want to lose their job.
It is very important that all safety measures are followed when working on high-rises each day or up on rooftops. Harnesses and other equipment for workers should be in excellent condition. Ladders and scaffolding should be sturdy, but this is not always the case. Unfortunately for construction workers the equipment is sometimes worn out and old, in need of replacement.
Even though workers do have the right to refuse to climb up on unsafe scaffolding or work without the proper safety procedures, many workers just don’t want to jeopardize their job. And this is how many construction accidents occur. Each year in America thousands of workers are injured or killed in construction accidents.
Other causes include explosions, fires, electric shock, faulty machinery, or worn-out equipment. Sometimes workers are exposed to toxic chemicals because the proper safety precautions were not followed by supervisors.
