While the most common cause of on the job injury for construction workers is falling, back injury accounts for 25 percent of all work-related injuries, with legs, arms, and hands the next most common. There is an average of 11,200 disabling injuries every year in this industry for workers, while accidental injuries are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States . In fact, the state with the greatest number of accidental deaths from all sources is California . Construction sites often harbor danger to workers. These hazards pose a risk that may result in severe injuries or even wrongful deaths to workers as a result of negligent practices of construction companies. B urn injuries, for example, are a very real risk at construction sites. With ample amounts of hot liquid, steam, chemicals, and electricity found at work sites, a variety of burn injuries may occur that can have severe long-term consequences. Other accidents common to construction sites are scaffolding accidents, structure failure, trench collapses, heavy equipment accidents, and equipment malfunction, to name a few. Construction companies are responsible for conditions on job sites and are required to adhere to safety guidelines. Supervisors must create a safe work environment for workers. Machinery and equipment must be properly maintained. When this fails to occur, worker safety is compromised. Although there are Federal and State regulations which have implemented extensive construction industry safety rules, thousands of construction workers are injured and killed annually in the United States while performing their job duties. In fact, the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) reported that 1,124 construction workers died as the result of construction site accidents in 2004. General contractors and sub-contractors are just as responsible as employers for what takes place on the work site. Like employers, they are required to warn of job site hazards, to hire responsible contractors, to coordinate job safety, and to supervise compliance with safety regulations. The following are some of the accidents which may occur on construction sites:
The above listed construction site accidents may result in various injuries such as spinal cord injuries, back and neck injuries, chemical burns, paralysis, amputations, brain injuries, and broken or crushed limbs.
