Construction Site Injuries in Arizona

Most people get up in the morning and go to work knowing their workplace is safe and secure. For those in the construction industry, however, it’s a different story. 

Maricopa County holds the fifth-largest population in the United States, with more than 1.5 million people. According to calculations, its population will reach around 2.2 million by 2025. Construction jobs will rise as a result of this growth, which will benefit the economy. However, as the number of construction jobs increases, so do accidents.

Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the nation, where employees frequently run the risk of losing their lives, their health, their stability at home, or their financial security.

Every worker, regardless of skill level, can have an accident on the job. A worker may get a traumatic brain injury if a steel beam falls from a great height and strikes him or her on the head. A worker who is vulnerable might be wounded or killed if stairs or trenches fall. A harmful chemical’s repeated usage can result in occupational disease. These dangerous conditions are prevalent across a building site.

Construction site injuries can be caused by falling tools or objects, defective scaffolding, faulty equipment, electrocution, motor vehicle accidents, slip or trip-and-fall accidents, OSHA safety violations committed by other workers, explosions, and many other factors. The hazardous equipment and heavy machinery prevalent on construction sites can be dangerous to workers.
