Common Types of Construction Accidents

In 2021, California’s Department of Industrial Relations found that accidents in the construction arena were responsible for 17 percent of occupational fatalities. As employment increases in the construction industry, the nonfatal injuries associated with it are rising as well. Though accidents and injuries come in many forms, some of the most common include:

• Lack of Protective Devices – Workers and bystanders must be protected from falling objects. Devices such as nets, helmets, protective gear, and temporary roofing structures should be securely placed and worn properly to protect from injury. 
• Tripping Hazards – If the debris from ongoing construction work is not cleared from the area properly, anyone can trip over equipment and other material generated during the course of the project. 
• Unsafe Equipment – All equipment should be properly maintained and in top working condition. Operators of any machine should be fully trained and take all safety precautions. Equipment can generate fires, explosions, and electric shock, and cause debris to travel at dangerously high speeds.
