Construction sites also commonly known as building sites are a prime example of dangerous working environments. With so many things happening, usually in confined spaces, accidents are bound to happen. Health and safety in construction sites is imperative because of the equipment used and also the dangers faced by construction workers.
Cranes lifting heavy solid objects many feet into the air, workers maneuvering about on scaffolding, trucks, diggers and other machinery always on the move. You get the imagery being set here … it’s a busy, busy place. That’s why when accidents happen on construction sites they can sometimes be fatal.
Biggest Fatality in Work Injuries : Construction
The UK’s Health and Safety Executive published figures in 2007 that showed the construction industry alongside Agriculture were the two main areas of employment with the highest ratio of fatalities in work related injuries. That highlights the dangers of builders within construction sites on a day-to-day basis.
The Injury Lawyers understand the complexities of work related injuries including construction site injury claims. Builders feel the accident may have been their fault and also do not like to claim against their boss or company. But the bare fact of the matter is you have a right to claim if the accident was not your fault and you have suffered an injury through no fault of your own.
