What are the common causes of construction accidents in Michigan?

Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments, and accidents can occur due to various factors. Some common causes of construction accidents in Michigan include:

  • Falls from heights: Falls are one of the leading causes of construction-related injuries and fatalities. They can occur from ladders, scaffolding, roofs, or other elevated surfaces.
  • Struck-by accidents: Workers may be struck by falling objects, moving equipment, or vehicles on the construction site.
  • Caught-in or between accidents: Workers can get caught in or between heavy machinery, equipment, or structures, leading to crushing injuries or suffocation.
  • Electrocution: Contact with live electrical wires or faulty equipment can result in severe electrical burns or electrocution.
  • Slip and trip hazards: Uneven surfaces, debris, spills, and inadequate lighting can contribute to slip and trip accidents on construction sites.
  • Equipment malfunctions: Defective or improperly maintained machinery and equipment can malfunction, leading to accidents and injuries.
