In 2014, 4,769 workers were killed on the job. On average, this is almost 90 per week or more than 13 deaths per day. Negligence in hazardous environments can be fatal.

Common Hazards for Construction Site Employees

Construction workers face a number of dangers every day. While many injuries are covered by workers’ compensation, under limited circumstances, these victims may bring civil lawsuits. Certain accidents have been labeled “the fatal four” because they cause the majority of fatal accidents for construction workers each year. These fatal four are falls, electrocutions, being struck by an object, or being caught in between two objects. Injuries stem from many construction site hazards.

The following are the 10 most common causes of construction site injuries:

  1. Scaffolding
  2. Falls
  3. Excavations
  4. Ladders
  5. Head Protection
  6. Hazard Communication
  7. Respiratory Protection
  8. Electrical Systems
  9. Machinery
  10. Powered Industrial Trucks

It is estimated that even if only the fatal four causes of worker death were eliminated, 508 worker lives in America would be saved every year. Construction sites aim to educate their employees about the dangers of various aspects of their work that may lead to injury. However, some grow negligent over time.

Construction & Developments in Florida

Florida is “booming” according to recent reports in the Palm Beach Post. There are plans to build more high-rise buildings, more shopping centers, and more apartments/townhouses. With this development, boom comes an increased risk of construction accidents. This might even include pedestrians injured while walking near construction zones, or motorists injured due to road construction.
