Construction trades tend to be physically demanding with plenty of hazardous conditions everywhere you turn.
What Causes Tool Accidents?
OSHA wrote an interesting publication titled “Hand and Power Tools,” which goes into power tool safety, employer responsibility, and what employees who were injured should do. For example, 29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart O discusses lock and tag procedures, what employers are responsible for and what civil penalties may incur if injuries happen due to improperly locked out tools and machinery.
The more common causes of pool accidents, including non-lethal amputations, include:
- Improper training. Indeed, many tool accidents could be avoided if employers wouldn’t assume every construction worker knows power tool safety and proper usage.
- Improper usage. Using power chisels as screwdrivers could cause the head to fly off, injuring those nearby or even the operator.
- The employer failed to lockout unsafe tools. When larger tools like concrete saws or drill presses go down, they should be properly locked out. If an employee uses machinery which wasn’t properly shut down, and gets seriously injured, Compass Law Group, LLP will hold the employer accountable.
Many other incidents leading to injuries have been litigated by our Los Angeles power tool accidents attorneys, getting compensation injured persons to deserve while also forcing construction companies and machine shops to change procedure.
We Settle Power Tool Accident Cases
Another growing cause of tool-related accidents involves using hydraulic fluid in machines that don’t meet fire retardant standards. This fluid could easily explode, causing burn injuries or even death, depending on how much pressure the fluid was under.
