Common Construction Accidents

Falls

Falls are the most common construction site accident. About 540 construction workers die a year from falling from scaffolding or roofs. Falls from ladders can also be dangerous.

Forklift Accidents

Every year about 100 construction workers are killed in forklift accidents and an additional 20,000 are injured. Forklift accidents are most related to overturning, feet being struck by the forklift, or workers falling from the forklift. Many workers are not aware of safety procedures when operating forklifts or just plain ignore them. Workers should be properly trained and made aware of safety procedures before operating the forklift to avoid accident and injury.

Hearing Loss

Heavy machinery and loud power tools often can cause hearing loss to some degree. Its especially hazardous when multiple machines are being used at the same time, which is not an uncommon occurrence. Such hearing loss may only be temporary, but in some cases it can be permanent.

Nail gun Injuries

Once again, oftentimes workers are not aware of safety procedures when operating certain tools, nail guns being another example. Injuries often occur in the operator’s non dominant hand.

Vehicle Accidents

People driving in construction zones often do not obey road signs and drive negligently without reducing their speed, as a result, over a thousand construction workers are killed every year by being struck by a vehicle.
