If you are a construction worker, you face the risk of injury every day. Whether you are working on a residential renovation or a major commercial development, a construction site presents many situations that can result in an injury.
Carpenters, electricians, masons, roofers, plumbers, laborers, elevator repair technicians, and other types of construction workers may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if they are injured while doing their job.
Common workplace injuries include:
Though most physical injuries to granite workers and factory workers occur as a result of machinery accidents, short-term and long-term exposure to hazardous materials can also compromise a worker’s health.
Improperly enforced safety codes and regulations often result in machinery malfunctions or negligent operation, both of which put factory workers at high risk for injury and disability.
Granite workers, sawyers, machine operators, furniture makers, factory workers, and warehouse workers can come into harm’s way through work that involves heavy machinery, heavy lifting, and repetitive motion.
