Causes of NYC Construction Accidents

Construction accidents in New York City can occur due to various factors, including:

  • Lack of Proper Safety Equipment or Training: Employers are responsible for providing construction workers with the necessary safety equipment and training. Failing to do so can lead to preventable accidents.

  • Defective or Malfunctioning Equipment: Faulty or poorly maintained equipment, such as cranes, scaffolding, or power tools, can malfunction and cause serious injuries to workers.

  • Inadequate Site Supervision or Safety Protocols: Insufficient oversight and a lack of proper safety procedures on construction sites can create hazardous conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.

  • Failure to Follow Industry Regulations and Standards: Construction companies that do not adhere to safety regulations and industry standards set forth by OSHA and other governing bodies put their workers in jeopardy.
  • Negligence by Contractors, Subcontractors, or Property Owners: When those responsible for the construction site fail to exercise reasonable care, accidents can injure workers.

  • Hazardous Site Conditions: Uneven surfaces, debris, and other risky conditions on the construction site can cause workers to slip, trip, or fall, resulting in serious injuries.

By addressing these common causes of construction accidents in New York City, employers and site managers can help create a safer work environment and prevent unnecessary harm to their workers.
