Common Types of Winter Haven Construction Accidents
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) tracks construction accidents. Anything from falling over an object left in a walkway to slipping on wet ground can result in injuries that can range from mild to severe. Here’s a look at the most common types of construction accidents, according to OSHA.
Electrocutions
Construction involves electrical work and the use of machinery that can lead to electrocutions. Construction workers can be electrocuted on the job because of overhead power lines or the use of dangerous electric tools.
Falls from Great Heights
Construction often happens at great heights, such as on rooftops, on lifts, and on scaffolding. Unfortunately, falls can happen, and OSHA cites falls as the primary cause of death in the construction industry. Falling from high up can result in extremely serious injuries if preventative measures are not taken.
Caught-In/Between
Workers can be injured when they are caught in between objects. For instance, a construction worker could be driving a forklift carrying heavy pallets. If a person gets caught in between these pallets and a wall, they can be crushed, leading to devastating injuries or death.
Struck by Falling Objects
Another serious type of accident at construction sites is when objects fall and hurt someone. A worker who is high up may drop an object that hits another worker who is down below. Objects can fall from cranes and strike workers on the ground. Injuries from falling objects can be severe. To avoid this type of accident, OSHA recommends wearing high-visibility clothing while working on construction sites that might have heavy equipment and vehicles.
Trip and Fall Accidents
A lot of objects and debris are strewn around construction sites, and even when you’re vigilant, you can still be injured in a trip and fall or slip and fall accident. These types of accidents can result in serious injuries, including head injuries, broken bones, puncture wounds, cuts, lacerations, and more.
Hearing Loss and Repetitive Motion Injuries
Construction jobs can also result in injuries caused by the work itself. For instance, exposure to construction noise can lead to damaged eardrums and hearing loss over time. Repetitive motion injuries can result from constantly engaging in the same physical tasks day after day, such as debilitating back injuries caused by lifting heavy objects.
