Slip and fall accidents: Most injuries on construction sites are the result of falls, including falls from heights. A lot of construction work is done from bridges, roofs, ladders, scaffolding, cranes, and more, and negligence can easily lead to a dangerous fall resulting in catastrophic injuries. Negligence can be caused by crane operator errors, inadequate safety instructions or gear, and poor training, among others.

Fires and explosions: Construction sites involve various explosive dangers, including pipe or gas leaks, exposed wires, and more. Some projects also work actively with explosives in tearing down building and breaking surfaces.

Poorly maintained or faulty equipment: Heavy machinery or equipment that is faulty or damaged in some way often causes injuries, especially in areas where people are working. Inadequate safety measures can also cause injuries involving equipment.

Falling objects: Construction sites involve a lot of tools, machinery, and work done from heights, which can explain why workers can be injured by falling objects like tools. Explosions and other types of construction work can also cause debris to fall from heights.

Toxic chemicals or substances: Construction workers constantly expose themselves to irritants like dirt and dust while onsite, but they can also inhale other toxic chemicals and substances that may be present, which can lead to infections and serious diseases that develop over time.

Overexertion: Performing the same tasks over and over can be grueling and result in injuries over time. Performing manual labor and lifting heavy things can also put a lot of pressure and exertion on the body.
