Construction sites are chaotic, with dozens and often hundreds of workers frantically going about their work. In such an environment, accidents can, and often do, happen. The most common accidents, nearly all of which could be avoided with even minimal care and attention, include the following:

• Falls from heights
• Crane accidents
• Scaffold accidents
• Workers run over by machinery
• Electrocution
• Trench collapses
• Fires and explosions
• Welding accidents
• Holes or gaps in the flooring

• Falling objects
• Unsafe or dangerous equipment
• Defective ladders
• Defective power tools
• Structure failure(building collapse)
• Human error
• So much more
