Common Causes of Construction Site Accidents

4. Whether it be a slip and fall accident on the same floor, a fall caused by
a defective or poorly positioned ladder or a fall from one level to
another, falls are the most common cause of injury at construction sites.
Falls from high heights or scaffolding

5. Slips and falls
From stray tools and materials to uneven ground or holes, there are
many hazards on a construction site that could lead to a dangerous slip,
trip, or fall.

6. Electrocutions
Construction sites are often full of electrical wires, some of which are
still live and improperly labeled and/or insulated.

7. Falling debris, materials or objects
On projects with multiple levels, it is common for falling tools, building
materials, or beams to strike workers below.

8. Getting caught in-between objects or materials
Construction sites are filled with heavy machinery, tools, and materials.
Often, workers find themselves stuck in between immovable objects,
machinery, or fallen debris.

9. Fires and explosions
Because of unfinished piping, leaking gases, and incomplete electrical
systems, fires and explosions are a common occurrence on construction
sites.

10. Overexertion
Hours of hard labor, often in extremely hot or humid conditions, can
cause workers to overexert themselves and even fall victim to heat
stroke.

11. Machinery accidents
Construction workers use a lot of heavy machinery in their work. From
cranes and bulldozers to jackhammers and nail guns, an error or
accident with these tools can be very dangerous.

12. Getting hit by a vehicle
Construction sites are often located near or adjacent to roads or highways. At
times, drivers can be distracted by the work, and if a driver is not looking or it
is dark out, it is possible for a worker to get hit by a passing vehicle or truck.

13. Trench collapses
Trenches are often a necessity on construction sites. If a trench collapses
while a worker is inside, it could cause them to be hit with tools, machinery, or
materials or bury them in the surrounding dirt.
