Regardless of what safety measures are put into place, a construction site is liable to have accidents. These areas often have hidden hazards – those which a sign will not make you aware of. The Inland Empire Construction Accident Attorneys have seen these types of accidents:
- Scaffolding – Scaffolding accidents can be caused by a number of things including poorly assembled scaffolding. Since scaffolding is put together to assist workers in carrying out their jobs, they are assembled by people. Like anything else with a human element, accidents happen. Not only is there a danger to passers by (i.e. something falling from the scaffolding) but, workers can be injured and even killed as the result of faulty assembly;
- Falling Debris – Falling debris is common on many construction sites. Hazards are not just for people working at a construction site either. Broken bones, blindness and death can occur for both employees and pedestrians from falling debris;
- Building Collapse – The architect is responsible for making sure that the design at a construction site is sound. Should they fail to exercise proper caution, the building may possibly collapse. Building collapses can injure, maim and kill workers and passers-by.
There are other accidents that can happen at construction sites that are inherently dangerous not just to construction workers but also to pedestrians. These may include:
  A construction site explosion or fire
An explosion caused by compressed gas
Accidents with welding equipment
Burns that occur from Arc accidents
Faulty Equipment
Unsafe ladders
Power tool defects
Derrick defects

Crane collapses and accidents
