The Deadliest Risks on Construction Sites
One of the most significant dangers on a construction site is falling from heights. This includes falls from scaffolding, ladders, or unfinished buildings. It’s a leading cause of fatalities, often due to improper safety measures or equipment. In the case of a young electrician who fell from a staircase while working on a project, the accident resulted in shattered heels. Thankfully, he survived, but falls from heights remain one of the deadliest accidents in construction.
Why Falls from Heights Are So Deadly
Falls are often fatal because of the significant impact on the body, especially when working on high floors. The physical injuries caused by these falls can be devastating and sometimes irreversible. Moreover, when construction companies prioritize profit over worker safety, accidents like these are far more common.
