Worker Compensation Accidents

Share

With the warm weather approaching, outdoor construction and building will start up again in New York. This increase in construction will cause a rise in the number of people being injured on the job. Many of these injuries are due to the negligence of land owners and general contractors. Unsafe work conditions due to lack of safety equipment, safety devices, harnesses, proper ladder and scaffolds are all a major cause of the increase in injuries in New York.

In order to decrease the number of injuries in the work place, site safety managers will need to follow the laws of our State that protect construction workers. Enforcement of our laws that are designed to protect our workers is an essential element in reducing the number to injuries and fatalities in our State. Too often, safety measures are disregarded in order to speed up the progress of a job. Often workers feel that if they complain about job safety they will be reprimanded or fired from a position.
