Connecticut Scaffold Injury Attorneys
Workers' Compensation Law Legal Help in New Haven Since 1978
Thousands of construction workers, painters, window washers and building maintenance workers need to on and near scaffolding every day. Due to the known risks that scaffolding involves, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets strict standards regarding the use of scaffolding. Yet each year, numerous workers are injured from scaffolding that:
- Collapses
- Was designed or set up incorrectly
- Had faulty wiring
- Was overloaded
- Was maintained poorly
- Was built with weak metal and lumber
Additionally, accidents frequently occur when debris falls off of scaffolding and when the lack of safety devices leads to workers falling from scaffolding.
