The Dangers of Scaffolding
Workers in many occupations work on scaffolding, including construction workers, painters, roofers and window washers.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) maintains strict regulations on the use of scaffolds. All too often the building owner, contractor or construction company that is responsible for the safety of the scaffold does not follow these regulations, which puts the lives of workers at risk.
In handling a scaffold collapse case, our attorneys consider many questions:
- Were scaffold components like base plates, toe boards and platform decking secured and tested?
- Were safety precautions, such as safety netting and harnesses employed?
- Were warning signs reported and followed up on?
Our lawyers will carefully investigate every aspect of your case to determine how your accident took place and to identify responsible parties. We are dedicated to helping you obtain the compensation you need to pay your bills and provide for your family.
