Common Causes of Construction Site Falls
In our many years of experience handling construction site injuries, we have handled all kinds of fall accident and injury cases. Some of the most common causes of construction site fall accidents include:
- Unsafe equipment: In a large percentage of construction site fall injury cases, the root cause lies in faulty equipment. Ladders or scaffolds that are poorly assembled or improperly maintained are much more likely to fail and cause serious injuries.
- Construction site supervisor negligence: If site safety managers and supervisors fail to take adequate safety precautions for their workers, it is a sure recipe for disaster. Unsafe weather conditions like high winds or extreme cold, as well as lack of adequate fall restraints are common causes of construction site falls.
- Carelessness and errors on the job: Most construction sites are extremely busy places. If there are many tasks going on at once, signalmen can make improper signaling decisions that cause knock-downs and falls from high places. Improper cleanup and maintenance and hidden holes in construction site floors also cause frequent falling injuries.
