Helping Honeoye Falls Recover From Injuries Caused By Falling Objects Or Debris
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), roughly 1 out of 10 deadly construction injuries involves a worker being hit by a falling object of some kind.
Even a bolt can cause a serious head injury if dropped from high above.
Common Reasons For Dropped Objects On Construction Sites
There are many reasons why objects fall. The most common causes include:
- Incorrectly loaded cranes, hoists or material lifts
- Collapsing scaffolds and other structures
- Broken cables
- Loose concrete and masonry
- Unsecured tools and flying debris from tools
Construction site workers aren’t the only people in danger of falling objects. Sometimes, innocent New York pedestrians are harmed due to:
- Construction work happening too close to public sidewalks
- Lack of barricades, gates and locks to keep the public from wandering onto the site
- Lack of hard hats and other protective equipment when they are invited to visit the site
