What are some common construction accident causes?
The most commonly reported construction site injuries usually involve falls, often from roofs, ladders, or scaffolds. Electrocution and severe electrical burns are also a major source of construction injuries. When managers and property owners fail to define the location of electrical lines, the results are often severe electrical burns and in some cases even wrongful death. Trench collapses are particularly dangerous construction accidents. Co-workers and emergency personnel lose precious time as they struggle to gain access to workers who are not only injured, but buried.
