Indiana Workers are Being Injured in Scaffolding Accidents
Posted on September 21, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Nearly 2.5 million construction workers use scaffolds. Each year there are approximately 5,000 injuries and 100 construction fatalities. Scaffolding injuries usually result in severe injuries because they are falls from height. Scaffolding accidents are preventable when the OSHA regulations are followed under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart L, Scaffolds and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M, Fall Protection.
A vast majority of scaffolding accidents are a result of:
- Faulty planking;
- Faulty scaffolding support;
- Faulty or absent fall protection; and
- Falling objects.
