Construction Accidents
Construction accidents refer to incidents that occur on construction sites, often resulting in injuries or fatalities. These accidents can involve workers, equipment, or materials and may be caused by factors such as falls, equipment malfunctions, or unsafe working conditions. Common injuries include fractures, lacerations, and head trauma.
Preventing construction accidents is crucial for worker safety. Employers are responsible for providing proper training, safety gear, and maintaining equipment. Regulatory bodies, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), set guidelines to minimize risks and ensure a safer work environment for all involved in the construction process.
