New York Scaffolding Accident

Every year amazingly 4,500 people fall from scaffolds, suffering injuries which require hospitalization. Out of those, fifty people died at the end result of the accident. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) put into operation a safety standard in 1971 in order to put forward a safer working environment for construction workers.

The occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) has projected over 50% of construction workers injuries involve scaffolds or other type of lifts, hoists, or ladders. These injuries are usually the most serious type of accidents compare to severity. Employer's failure to ensure the use of protective equipment and objects falling onto employee from scaffolds, lifts, and ladders can be held responsible for any injuries to the employees.
