Construction Site Falling Objects Injury Causes

While on a construction site, gravity is one of the biggest dangers for the construction worker: objects may fall from elevated heights; a worker could fall from a roof, a ladder, or scaffolding.

Another very dangerous situation is the movement within a construction site.  There are many different activities happening, involving pushing, pulling, drilling, prying, or the use of power tools.

Any one of these can cause not only the equipment but also debris, to fly through the air and potentially injure a worker.  Although this type of injury can be minimized by safety equipment, such as hard hats, there is still the possibility of serious injury due to falling objects, or even flying objects at a construction site.

Although precautionary systems are in place for securing dangerous objects in a construction site area, accidents can still happen, and in this type of situation, these accidents can cause serious injury, and sometimes even death.

Many objects that fall in construction sites are unsecured or improperly secured objects from high elevations, for example:

  • Power tools, such as heavy drills and nail guns
  • Hammers and saws
  • Building materials, such as lumber and drywall
  • Heavy equipment such as pulleys, winches, and cables
  • Glass
