A construction site is an inherently dangerous work environment filled with large machinery and heavy equipment. Your employer is responsible for making your job as safe as they can, and one of the ways they can do this is by providing employees with safety equipment. At a minimum, your employer must provide you with a hard hat and safety goggles. If you are performing more dangerous and extreme tasks, your employer may be obligated to provide you with equipment such as gloves, hearing protection, a harness, a face shield, and more. If you were injured because of a lack of safety equipment, you might be eligible to receive compensation.
