Generators in a construction site accident

One of the pieces of equipment on a building site that can lead to a construction site accident is a generator. With the many building tools now used that rely on electricity, though, the presence of a generator on site is likely to be unavoidable.

Generators may be the source of various forms of personal injury, even when working efficiently. The heat generated by the engine, for example, can cause serious burns, and the absence of health and safety training being offered by a worker's company may open them to industrial injury claims should that worker receive burns.

On occasions where the generator is not working properly, there are situations that can result in serious accidents, such as a fuel leak - this can lead to fire risks, and the potential for an explosion.

It is also important to consider the human element, as incorrect setup of a generator can lead to a fuel leak, or electrocution if incorrect wiring principles are followed.

All of these can be avoided, in most cases, by following established health and safety guidelines as set out by the UK organisation HSE, or the Health and Safety Executive. Read more about the Health and Safety Executive here.
