A construction accident can occur in the blink of an eye, with life-threatening or life-changing consequences. A construction site is a busy, sometimes chaotic place, with workers and machines in close proximity. Materials of every type, and tools for every facet of construction, are in use or stored at the site ready for use. Proper protection and safety precautions may be lax, or ignored altogether. Time is usually of the essence at a construction site, and so there is a great deal of activity carried on at a rapid pace. The result of a single negligent act can be catastrophic in the construction environment.
