Fall from Elevation Construction Site Injury

Posted on August 28, 2011 by Ronald Todd

Ladder Accidents / Scaffold Accidents

A construction crew was building concrete forms. A worker climbed up a ladder on one side of the form and stepped over to an unguarded scaffold on the other side of the form. He was carrying supplies for the other workers. He fell and struck his head. He sustained a fatal severe traumatic brain injury.

Prevention of Falls from Height / Falls from Roof

Workers must be to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions associated with their work that might cause a ladder injury or scaffold injury (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)).
Standard guardrails and toeboards must be installed on all open sides and ends of platforms more than 10 feet above the ground or floor to prevent falls from height (29 CFR 1926.451(a)(4)).
