Construction Injuries
Construction site injury
With many workers and machines in a chaotic environment, construction worksites often pose dangers that sometimes result in construction injuries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), construction is one of the most hazardous occupations in the US, given that employees often work in settings that involve height, excavation, noise, dust, power tools and equipment, confined spaces, and electricity.
Construction workers exposed to these factors have an increased risk of construction accidents while carrying out their roles and responsibilities. Some common types of construction injuries include site falls, crane accidents, scaffolding collapse, fires, explosions, and other serious injuries.
