Slip and Fall: Causes and Effects
There are many slip and trip hazards on the average construction site, especially on one that is not properly maintained. These dangers can include:
- Slick puddles, ice, or condensation on walkways
- Wires, tools, and other debris left on the ground
- Poorly constructed or maintained scaffolding
- A lack of safety equipment like guardrails or slip-resistant boots
Hazards like these can easily cause people to slip or trip. While many of these accidents are mild, they can lead to severe consequences such as:
- Damage to muscles or ligaments
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Bone fractures
- Fatal injuries
Most slip and fall accidents can be avoided by simply following correct safety protocol. Unfortunately, employers and employees alike sometimes neglect to keep safety in mind. If you have been harmed by a negligent employer, worker, or equipment manufacturer, our Queens construction site slip and fall injury attorneys are ready to help.
