Construction Accidents

Types of Construction Accidents

Despite taking the proper precautions, such as wearing adequate safety equipment and closely following the safety procedures, construction accidents still occur regularly. Construction sites are dangerous places to work due to the number of ways a worker could sustain an injury while operating heavy machinery, utilizing tools which cause heat and conduct electricity, and exposing themselves to chemicals.

Common types of construction accidents include:

• Chemical spills
• Heavy equipment accidents
• Compressed gas accidents
• Construction vehicle accidents
• Crane accidents
• Electrical injuries
• Explosions
• Falling debris or equipment
• Falls from ladders
• Scaffolding accidents
• Slips and falls
• Trench collapses
• Welding accidents
• Forklift accidents
