Causes and Consequences of Fall Injuries
Falls on a construction site can be caused in many different ways, including:
- Debris, wires, or tools left on the ground
- Spills that are not immediately cleaned
- Defective or poorly maintained scaffolding
- Lack of safe, slip-resistant work boots
- Rainy, icy, or humid weather
The effects of a slip or trip and fall accident can vary widely, depending on the circumstances. Potential outcomes of such an accident include:
- Ligament sprains or muscle strains
- Fractured bones
- Spinal cord damage
- Traumatic brain injury
