Construction Site Safety Provisions
All construction companies are required to inspect their sites professionally and diligently. They must have safety programs, hire safety engineers and ensure that all their workers have adequate training. When an accident happens at a construction site, the owners, engineers, developers, architects, subcontractors, manufacturers, insurers, and/or the tools and equipment lessors may be held liable for not ensuring adequate safety provisions on-site or that the required safety equipment and tools were present.
How Accidents Occur at Construction Sites
Defective or dangerous products that often cause construction site accidents are:
- Cranes,
- power tools
- scaffolds
- ladders
- Hoses
- Trucks
- Other
For example, poor safety conditions can lead to falling objects that can sometimes be fatal. Crane operators may be careless and may knock down powerlines that result in the electrocution of innocent bystanders.
