What Are Common Risks and Outcomes of Falls at Residential Worksites?
Falls at residential worksites can lead to serious harm, especially when they involve roofs, ladders, or elevated surfaces. Contractors often work at heights where a single misstep can result in major injuries such as broken bones or head trauma.
Safety measures like harnesses, guardrails, and proper ladder placement are often used to reduce these risks. Even with precautions, changing weather, unstable footing, or equipment issues can still lead to accidents.
After a fall, the extent of injuries may not always be clear right away. Medical teams usually assess the person for both visible and internal injuries before deciding on the level of care needed.
