When you are on the job, you may forget just how dangerous your workplace can be. In fact, construction sites can be extremely dangerous places. This danger exists not just for the employees, but also for visitors and pedestrians. Any accident could lead to serious injuries and, in the worst cases, can lead to a wrongful death.

Because of these dangers, it is crucial for workers to be properly trained in the operation of all machinery they handle, and for worksites to be properly managed according to legal and industry standards.  Unfortunately, workers are often subjected to unsafe practices and poor job site conditions where these safety procedures and worksite maintenance requirements are not met.
