2. When they get Struct by Objects – Another reason that leads to accidents at the construction site is getting struck by heavy objects. In fact, 78 workers died in the year of 2012 due to this problem. The solution to this problem is by offering the right training to the workers.
3. When they get Electrocuted – Coming back to the same year of 2012, 68 construction workers are believed to have lost their lives. Invisible power lines that cannot be seen are the reason leading to accidents. However, this problem can be solved by putting power source signs at the construction site.
4. When they use Heavy Machines – Using heavy machines is another reason that leads to accidents at the construction site. Heavy machine operators may be using the machines in a smooth manner. However, they are always under stress due to operating them for longer hours. Moreover, accidents are bound to happen due to a lack of training in the machine.
