Scaffold Set
Ladders & Scaffolding Accidents Attorney
A scaffold is defined as an elevated, temporary work platform. It is estimated that 2.3 million construction workers, or 65 percent of the construction industry, work on scaffolds nearly every day. By following OSHA guidelines companies would protect these workers from scaffold-related accidents and prevent 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year, while saving American employers $90 million in workdays not lost. Contact accident attorneys if you or a loved have been injured in a ladder or scaffold related accident.
It is interesting to note that 25% of all workers that experienced ascaffolding accident did not receive proper training on how to use the equipment that their employer had them using.
There are three basic types of scaffolds:
Supported scaffolds, which consist of one or more platforms supported by rigid, load- bearing members, such as poles, legs, frames, outriggers, etc. Suspended scaffolds, which are one or more platforms suspended by ropes or other non-rigid, overhead support. Other scaffolds- principally man lifts, personnel hoists, etc., which are sometimes thought of as vehicles or machinery, but can be regarded as another type of supported scaffold.
The main cause of all scaffolding and ladder accidents is negligence. All companies that are not exempt from OSHA guidelines are required to follow all rules and procedures set by OSHA. These rules were created to keep workers safe but often times they are not followed by construction companies. OSHA has a very elaborate and extensive set of guidelines when it comes to ladders and scaffolding. From the scaffolding being erected to being used and taken down, there is a specific set of procedures that must be followed. This is a very time consuming process and it is very common for certain steps to be skipped or done only partially.accident attorneys can review the evidence in your case to determine if negligence was involved and if so, help you seek just compensation.
The main reason OSHA rules are ignored is because the company is trying to save time and maximize profits. However by doing so, they risk the wellbeing of their employees. A ladder accident or scaffolding accident can be extremely stressful to the injured party and their family. Paying medical bills, supporting the family and concerns about future employment are things that can be addressed by an experienced personal injury attorney.
In most cases, ladder and scaffolding accidents are completely avoidable. It is important to hire an attorney with experience in these kinds of accidents and an extensive knowledge of OSHA regulations. Ladders must be used between certain angles of the structure they are leaning against and must be secured in a specific fashion in many applications. Sacramento accident attorneys with experience in OSHA claims will determine where and how the responsible party/parties were negligent.
