Scaffold Erectors: A Dangerous Job with High Fatality Rates
When considering construction jobs with the highest risk of death, scaffold builders often top the list. These workers are tasked with assembling scaffolding, often at great heights. If the scaffolding isn’t properly secured, or the workers aren’t provided with proper safety gear like harnesses, the results can be catastrophic. Workers who build scaffolding may face a higher fatality rate than those working on scaffolding itself.
The Dangers of Scaffold Work
Working at significant heights without proper safety protocols, especially with poorly erected scaffolding, can lead to fatal falls. The fatalities are often related to the height and the absence of fall protection equipment like harnesses or secure scaffolding.
