Texas is still booming, and it seems as if everybody has a full-time job. That also translates into more people getting hurt on the job, especially those who are in the trades. Here are some common causes of Texas work injuries:
- Falls: Whether it’s a fall from a height, a slip-and-fall or a trip-and-fall, these are the leading causes of Texas work injuries.
- Struck by an Object: These accidents occur when a worker is positioned between a fixed object like a wall and a moving objected like a truck.
- Caught in Between: These accidents often occur with workers who are in trenches or deep holes.
- Electrocution: Overhead power lines are always a danger. Beware of them when working with ladders, scaffolds or platforms. Workers need to keep a safe distance from them. Power tools should be grounded.
- Falling Objects: Tools and construction materials can fall from heights and cause severe brain or spinal cord injuries.
