Construction jobs are one of the most three dangerous occupations in the United States today. Each year the construction industry produces thousands of debilitating injuries and wrongful deaths. Factors that contribute to construction accidents include workers lifting loads with worn and weathered cables, working on elevated platforms without fall protection or wearing defective safety harnesses and lanyards, and/or working in trenches with improper benching and using outdated tools and equipment, forklift or even moving vehicle accidents.
