Negligent Construction Companies

Atlanta Construction Company Negligence

A construction company is responsible for ensuring that their construction sites are safe places to work. However, some of these companies do not always make workers’ and passersby’s safety a top priority.

Dangerous Construction Sites

There are many potential hazards on a construction site, including but not limited to: 

Some of these dangers are inherent in construction work; however, in many cases, workers are put at risk due to another party’s negligence. A negligent construction company may emphasize speed over safety, not take the necessary steps to clean and maintain the construction site, or fail to provide the tools and materials necessary for proper completion of the job. As a result, those working on site may be put at risk for serious and life-threatening construction accident injuries. 

Construction Site Safety

A construction company is expected to follow safety regulations and train its employees properly to prevent foreseeable harm. Many of a construction company’s responsibilities are outlined in the extensive OSHA regulations for construction sites, which can be very specific concerning how a site is set up, as well as where machinery and other equipment is placed, how many pounds of pressure it can handle, and the manner in which it is operated. Under construction accident law, a construction company’s responsibilities may also include informing employees of safety protocols for working with or around certain materials and marking certain areas where there is an increased danger of electrical shock, trench collapse, or a slip and fall injury. Violations of these regulations are against Atlanta construction law, and can be grounds for a Georgia construction accident lawsuit.
