As construction activity increases across Sacramento and Northern California, your chances of being injured in an on site accident increase. Workers tend to trip over one another and as the pace of construction increases, so too do the chances of being injured from falling objects at the site. The law firm of Aiken-Jacobsen specializes in construction site accidents including those incidents involving injuries caused by falling objects.
Was Your Injury Preventable?
Many of these accidents could have been prevented or minimized if workers were protected by the proper equipment such as safety helmets, safety work shoes and safety glasses. Some accidents can be attributed to the failure of construction company management to provide proper training and/or live up to their responsibilities.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA) has set up a comprehensive directory of safety standards and guidelines meant to safeguard employees in the workplace. Those guidelines include educational sessions that emphasize safety in the workplace. In addition, warning signs for designated danger areas and many other safe procedural steps are spelled out and compulsory. Unfortunately, some companies fail to observe the guidelines, which brings us back to falling objects.
