Construction is already a dangerous line of work, but when you add in working alongside cars in a limited space, the chances of accidents grows exponentially.
Road work construction accidents aren’t limited to car accidents either. Working on a narrow pathway can lead to accidents involving faulty heavy machinery, falling cranes, electrical issues, falls, falling objects and debris, and more.
More than 7 million people work in construction trades in the U.S. Despite this high number, many states don’t have strict labor laws to protect construction workers. As a result, thousands of workers are injured in serious accidents each year.
Statistics show that about one in ten construction workers are accidentally injured each year. And nearly one-fourth of those hurt in accidents suffer back injuries. Back injuries can impact a person for the rest of their lives. It can affect their ability to move, work, and parent.
