Common Causes of Construction & Worksite Accidents
Construction and worksite accidents remain a significant concern in the industrial sector, with thousands of incidents reported annually.
Common causes of these accidents include:
- Falls from great heights: These occur due to inadequate fall protection, unstable scaffolding, or unprotected edges. Falls consistently rank as the leading cause of construction fatalities.
- Struck-by incidents: Workers are hit by falling objects, moving vehicles, or swinging equipment. Proper barricades and personal protective equipment are essential preventive measures.
- Electrical hazards: Contact with live wires, exposed electrical parts, or improperly grounded equipment leads to severe injuries or fatalities. This is especially common during renovation work.
- Caught-between accidents: Workers become trapped between heavy machinery, moving parts, or collapsing structures. These incidents often result from inadequate lockout/tagout procedures.
- Equipment malfunctions: Poorly maintained machinery, defective tools, or improper equipment operation can result in serious injuries. Regular inspections and operator training are critical.
- Slips, trips, and falls: Uneven surfaces, debris, spills, and poor housekeeping create hazardous walking conditions. These accidents commonly cause sprains, fractures, and head injuries.
- Trenching and excavation collapses: Unstable soil conditions or lack of proper shoring can lead to catastrophic cave-ins. OSHA compliance for trenching safety is essential.
