It is crucial for the safety of all construction site employees that the equipment they use is properly maintained. Construction tools and machinery present a variety of safety hazards if they are not used in the intended manner. But without regular maintenance, even proper use can be dangerous. Maintaining equipment like scaffolding, ladders, and power tools can differentiate between injury and a job well done.

If you have been injured on the job, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries. However, getting the compensation that you deserve can be a challenge.

    Improper Construction Equipment Maintenance Dangers

    Many construction jobs require the use of specialized tools and equipment. Since employees cannot be expected to purchase and maintain this type of equipment on their own, construction companies provide their employees with the tools they need to complete the job. This also necessitates that employers repair and maintain their property for safe use by employees. This responsibility cannot be taken for granted, as the results of a construction site injury can be very serious. The following construction tools and equipment can contribute to dangerous accidents if they are improperly maintained:

    • Scaffolding
    • Ladders
    • Hydraulic lifts
    • Safety restraints
    • Generators
    • Nail guns

    Victims of construction site injuries should discuss their legal options with an experienced attorney.
