Accidents due to falling objects can be avoided.

  • Carry tools in work belts and toolboxes.
  • Raise equipment and materials with hand lines and elevators.
  • Place equipment and materials in safe places, where they will not slide, roll, or become loose by vibrations or the wind.
  • Making sure workers are aware of who, and what, is underneath them at all times.
  • Post warning signs and erect protective barriers.

A construction worker or pedestrian who is injured by a falling object may sue the construction company. In order to be successful in a lawsuit, the claimant must prove:

  • The construction owner had a duty to maintain a safe area within the construction site.
