Despite significant improvements over recent years to reduce the number and rate of injuries caused to construction workers, a vast number of serious injuries still continue to affect them. These are often devastating for individuals and their families.
In 2019 Health & Safety statistics revealed that there were 79,000 work-related cases of injury in the construction sector caused by slips, trips and falls (30%), falling from heights (32%), being struck by objects (13%) and whilst handling, lifting or carrying (7%). This was in addition to a further 58,000 cases of work-related ill health in which 42,000 were cases of musculoskeletal disorders.
How we can help
Whether you are working for a national construction company or an individual builder, your employer or main contractor has a legal duty to protect your health and safety and reduce the risk of injury on site.
Frequent injuries and illnesses reported in the construction sector include:
- Physical Injuries - skilled construction workers are still at the highest risk of back injury and upper limb injuries.
- Noise induced hearing loss and vibration injuries caused by specialist power tools used on site.
- Exposure to hazardous substances including dusts, chemicals, gases and fumes which in turn can cause respiratory problems and skin disorders.
- Occupational cancer which accounts for over 40% of all cancers amongst the industrial sectors including asbestos and silica.
