Federal laws, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act, require employers to take certain precautions in the workplace to lower the number of work-related injuries. In the construction industry, employers must follow certain regulations regarding scaffoldings, hoists and other tools used to build, repair or tear down buildings. For instance, they must inspect this equipment to make sure it is functioning properly. Defective and dangerous equipment on a construction site can include:

• Power tools
• Scaffolding
• Ladders
• Tractors
• Bulldozers
• Forklifts
• Winches

In addition, the employer is obligated to hire co-workers that will not inhibit other’s safety on the job and warn workers of any hazards on the construction site. When an employer’s failure to follow these safety laws leads to a worker’s injury, the employer may be eligible for more than just workers’ compensation.
