A construction job is regarded as a very dangerous place on Earth. After all, the environment in the construction sites provides all sorts of hazards for the workers. Accidents happen at least on a daily basis. In the past years, there have been numerous workers who have contained both the mild and serious injuries, some have gone invalid, and several others have lost their lives. This only shows that there is a need to employ the best types of precautionary measures to further avoid these very unwelcome incidents.

The Causes of the Freak and Fatal Mishaps
 
The construction sites are often filled with metals, lumbers, machinery, electric wires, motor vehicles, and the likes. The workers commonly get exposed to the dangers that these materials may bring. There are different causes of the accidents and among them are the falling of the roofs and lights, slipping and falling off the ladders and from other levels, scaffolds, electrocution, electric fires, structural collapses, getting struck by motor vehicles, machines, and excavators, getting in contact with chemicals, cement, live wires, dust, and other hazardous gases, among others. The main reasons for these mishaps are of course due to the lack of training and negligence of both the workers and the employees.
 
The Role of the Government
 
Some concerned organizations and the local government are working hard to somehow eliminate these untoward events. They do advocate that the important precautionary measures should be applied to keep everyone safe at the construction site. There should be stronger roofs and structures to avoid the slipping and falling of people. The electric wiring must be properly done. The machines and motor vehicles should be operated by the skilled and trained individuals. The design of the site must be made accordingly to allow the ease in transporting the materials and to avoid the jamming of the traffic.
