Construction sites are one of the most dangerous working environments where accidents are just waiting to happen. From residential construction, roadside work or expansion, to the construction of high rise buildings many people are injured from construction related accidents at every site. Accidents can range anywhere from falling off a ladder to the death because of faulty or unsafe equipment.
