Taking Care of Ironworkers Following Accidents
Falls are the most common injury suffered by ironworkers. Working on ladders, scaffolds and lifts hundreds of feet in the air are inherently dangerous activities, but the risks grow exponentially when a third party behaves negligently or a piece of equipment fails. For example, it is the responsibility of construction managers to ensure all safety requirements and regulations are followed — injuries routinely follow safety violations.
Common injuries from falling include spinal cord damage, brain injuries, multiple fractures and even death.
Other Dangers Ironworkers Face
Other common injuries sustained by ironworkers include:
- Severe cuts: Sharp metal and tools can cause serious injuries.
- Burns: Welding and working near flammable materials lead to many burn-related injuries each year in New York.
- Being struck by falling objects: There are risks even when working on the ground. Poorly secured materials can strike unsuspecting workers before they have any chance to react.
