Equipment Malfunction
Though the tools used in modern construction work are indispensable for the jobs they perform, virtually all of them are capable of causing serious injury – or even death – if or when they malfunction. Whether due to sheer size or power, construction equipment is truly a double-edged sword which can put dozens of workers at risk if improperly inspected and maintained.
Equipment which may cause serious worker injury due to a malfunction include:
- Cranes
- Bulldozers
- Forklifts
- Scaffolding
- Ladders
- Power drills/saws
- Nail guns
Construction equipment often perform stressful tasks, bear heavy loads, and are subjected to strong forces on a daily basis. It is little surprise that this wear and tear can compromise the safety of construction equipment. For this reason, all construction equipment should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. Problems must be identified and resolved before they manifest during operation and endanger the lives and livelihoods of dozens of construction workers and passers-by.
