Why Your Construction Industry Clients Need Workers Compensation
A construction site can be a dangerous place, filled with hazards like heavy tools, high heights, and strenuous labor. Due to hazards like these, your clients in the construction industry face a wide variety of injury risks.
In the construction industry, the type and severity of an injury often depends on the construction work being performed. For example, someone working from scaffolding will likely have different injury risks from a carpenter working inside a home. However, some common injury types in the construction industry include:
- Slip-and-falls, which can occur due to risks like wet conditions, debris in the area, or poor maintenance on railings, floors, and other areas
- Struck-by injuries, or injuries that occur when a construction worker is hit by a falling object, like a piece of debris or a dropped tool
- Strains and sprains, which most often occur from improper lifting techniques
- Tool-related injuries, like lacerations from an accident with a nail gun
- Weather-related illness, including heat stroke, dehydration, frost bite, and hypothermia
- Chemical exposure, which can lead to health issues like allergies, skin conditions, and respiratory distress
- Electrical injuries from coming into contact with faulty wiring or live wires at a construction site
Thankfully, your clients in the construction industry can prevent injuries and accidents like these through tasks like offering safety training, providing proper personal protective equipment (PPE), and establishing a strong injury reporting system.
