Two main categories of people are at risk for accidents on or near construction sites. The first and most obvious category is anyone working on the site. That includes the construction workers, supervisors, electricians, plumbers, vendors, delivery drivers, and anyone else doing work related to whatever is being built.
The other major category of people who are at risk of being hurt near a construction site is passersby. People traveling by a construction site can be injured by falling objects, fires and explosions, electrical shocks, slip-and-fall accidents, construction vehicles, and more. That is why construction companies should always make sure work zones are carefully marked and that as many people as possible are detoured away from the site.
