Construction work is dangerous, and most of the risk comes from using various types of machinery and equipment. In fact, the term “struck-by accident” is used to refer to any situation where a worker is injured because he or she was struck by materials, machinery, or any piece of construction equipment. These types of accidents are the leading cause of injury and death on construction sites, but there are other reasons why construction workers can get injured. Equipment can roll over onto the operator, they can get run over, or they can get caught inside the equipment. They can even get hit by falling equipment loads, backhoe buckets, or any other moving parts while they’re on the ground.
