Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Every year, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration analyzes the construction accidents that have occurred nationwide over the previous year. Over time, obvious patterns and trends have emerged. This analysis helps government officials to understand the hazards of the construction industry so that they can strengthen regulations designed to keep workers safe and to hold negligent employers accountable for their unsafe conduct.
Because you work in the construction industry, chances are good that you’ve heard of the construction “fatal four.” This OSHA designation is granted to the four most common causes of construction work fatalities. The fatal four are falls, being struck by an object, electrocutions, and being caught either in or between structures, equipment, or construction material. Each of the fatal four construction accident conditions also cause thousands of injuries each year.
If you weren’t injured as a result of the fatal four, chances are high that your accident was caused, totally or in-part, by unsafe working conditions. The 10 most common unsafe working conditions cited by OSHA during 2019 include inadequate fall protection, inadequate communication about hazards, scaffolding issues, inadequate control of hazardous energy sources, inadequate respiratory protection, inadequate training related to fall prevention and protection, ladder issues, issues with powered industrial trucks, machinery and machine guarding hazards, and inadequate protection for workers’ eyes and faces.
