Although most professional labourers and craftsmen understand the importance of safety, it is all too easy for a building site accident to occur, especially when construction or maintenance is some height above the ground.
People in the Canadian city of Calgary were shocked when, within two months of each other, there were two serious incidents of material falling from a high-rise building project, one of which resulted in the death of a three-year-old girl. A major safety review of the adjoining sites was immediately ordered.
The chances of such a tragedy happening to a passer-by are incredibly low but the laws of physics dictate that even a small piece of roofing slate, a scaffolding clip or a screwdriver hits the ground with greater force the further distance it falls.
For that reason, anyone working on a building site at first floor or higher needs to be constantly aware of any loose debris, materials waiting to be used or deficiencies in previous work which might mean some part of the construction is insecure.
In strong winds and heavy rain, this situation is likely to be made worse, added to which surfaces become slippery so even more care is needed to avoid building site accidents which could lead to a personal injury compensation claim.
Of course, it is not only the public which might be at risk from an accident due to negligence on a building site, the employees also could be hurt or suffer work-related injury from lack of safety measures.
Looking after yourself when at work is an employee's duty under Health and Safety regulations and it is the employer's duty to provide safe equipment and conditions for you to do your job. Both have a duty to members of the public with whom they may come in contact.
Keeping to common-sense rules means there is less likelihood of a building site accident, however, if you are a passer-by who has suffered personal injury as a result of an incident at an industrial site or an employee who may be eligible for accident at work compensation, you don't have to suffer in silence.
