Causes of Construction Accidents

construction accidents

OSHA has determined the leading causes of death on construction sites are falls, being struck by an object, electrocutions and being caught in or between a hazard. While these were the top four causes of death, other common causes of personal injury and wrongful death are:

  • Exposure to toxic substances or chemicals
  • Inadequate warnings
  • Defective products such as ladders, power equipment, scaffolding, etc.
  • Trips and falls due to uncovered holes, exposed rebar, etc.
  • Violations of safety regulations
  • Lack of proper safety equipment
  • Improper training
  • Improper supervision
  • Careless storage of materials, debris or equipment
  • Fires and explosions
  • Inadequate lighting
