What are common workplace construction accidents?

On Behalf of | Apr 5, 2021 | Construction Accidents |

Some of the most common workplace construction accidents in California involve crane and hoist incidents, forklift accidents and falls from heights. Many accidents also occur when workers are exposed to harmful chemicals and toxins, which can lead to severe respiratory issues.

When safety precautions aren’t in place, elevator shaft accidents are also common in some workplaces. In some cases, these accidents lead to death. Additionally, slip and falls contribute to workplace accidents and can lead to broken bones and disabilities.

How to prevent workplace construction accidents

If you want to reduce the risk of construction accidents, it’s important to scan the construction site to look for any hazards that may be present before you begin working. It’s also necessary to wear protective gear and equipment while handling heavy machinery or chemicals. Training should also take place so that workers know how to properly use different types of equipment and tools on the site.

Following proper safety protocols is crucial to avoid making mistakes that can lead to construction injuries. Taking breaks is also necessary to avoid fatigue while operating heavy machinery and equipment. While working outside during the warmer months, avoiding excessive sun exposure is important to reduce fatigue and avoid dehydration.

Who can you contact for legal assistance?

If you have suffered an injury in a workplace accident, you may want to contact a personal injury attorney who can inform you of your rights and help you fight for the compensation you are seeking. An experienced legal professional can walk you through the process and also review the different details and evidence of the case before representing you in a court of law.

It was a really good experience —well, as much as it can be for a lawsuit — and I’m very happy I went with them. I’ve been really blessed to have him as my attorney, so I recommend him whenever I can.”
