Construction accidents can cause people, both workers and members of the public, serious personal injuries and for that reason it is important that every contractor and employer ensures that their site is free from risk.
Accidents on constriction sites can be easily avoided by providing employees with the correct safety equipment for carrying out their work. Unfortunately, bystanders involved in construction accidents, without any protective clothing and equipment, are more likely to sustain a personal injury.
Protective clothing and equipment used on construction sites
By providing protective clothing and equipment for their workers, employers can reduce the number of fatal accidents or severe injuries that could potentially occur on construction sites.
Different forms of protection for workers against hazards include clothing and equipment such as hats, steel capped shoes, safety glasses and high visibility jackets. None of these items fully protect a worker from a serious construction accident, but should work together to reduce the level of personal injury sustained.
Regulations provided by the Health and Safety Executive suggest a number of options, which could prevent a possible construction accident from taking place. These include wearing a hard hat to reduce head injuries as a result of falling objects, gloves to prevent hand injuries caused by electric shocks and cuts, and protective footwear to protect against slips and falling objects.
All of the above could prevent an employee from suffering a severe injury in a work accident. Additional to this benefit should be the effect of reducing work injury compensation claims.

Construction accidents involving bystanders
Although construction workers are more likely to suffer personal injuries in an accident, bystanders can also fall victim to construction accidents.
Bystanders can suffer a variety of injuries including cuts from sharp objects, injuries from falling scaffolding and cranes and burns from leaking chemicals.
If a bystander sustains a personal injury, they could then choose to use the services of a no win, no fee solicitor to make a compensation claim against the contractor liable for that part of the construction site.
