Thoughts on workplace accidents

Falls are the leading cause of injury and death in the construction industry (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Unfortunately, these incidents are not only tragic but also preventable with proper safety measures in place.

Providing the right equipment is essential in preventing falls and other workplace accidents. Safety measures such as screens, guardrails, catch platforms, canopies, and nets at the construction site can help reduce these incidents.

We have found that companies try to blame innocent employees for accidents such as this one. This is why it is important to have trained advocates representing the individuals injured in these types of incidents. No one should go to work and suffer serious injuries while the employer walks away without fault.

May the injured here receive the help needed to heal and recover from this incident.
