Construction Site Accidents

While almost any type of workplace can offer unexpected accident risk, it is the responsibility of the employer to take action to keep that risk as low as possible. Construction sites may seem to be more hazardous than an office building or store, but accidents and dangers can be prevented by implementing rigid and enforceable safety practices at construction sites . For example, the general contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe site , to warn of hazards inherent in the site and work, to hire careful employees, to coordinate job safety, and to supervise compliance with safety specifications. read more
