What are Common Hazards at Construction Sites?
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries for workers. Working with power tools and around heavy machinery can result in serious and fatal accidents.
Exposure to toxic substances
Electrocution
Slip, trip, and fall
Heat exhaustion or stroke
Overexertion
Struck by object
Caught-in/between objects or equipment
Acts of violence
Drivers and pedestrians who have to pass through construction zones are also in danger. An unsafe construction site could cause car accidents, falls into trenches, or structural collapses. Whether you were working or not, contact an attorney about your accident.
