What’s wrong in this picture? The construction industry has a reputation for danger—and rightly so. Construction workers spend time in hazardous environments on a daily basis. There are dozens of issues that may arise during the construction phase.

Construction workers expect to work in a safe place and to be provided the proper equipment necessary to ensure their safety. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. When unsafe working conditions exist, it poses a threat to those in the area, workers, and even passersby.

While some hazards are inherent to the trade, construction teams and workers can take precautions to reduce the risks on any jobsite from unsafe acts.
