Roofing Accident and Construction Falls Attorney
Leading Falls-from-Height Lawyer Based in Philadelphia
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cites falls as the leading cause of deaths in the construction industry. While it is one of the most preventable accidents on the jobsite, fall hazards continue to be present on job sites, and workers’ safety is constantly being put at risk. If you’re working at a height of four feet, you’re at risk for an accident, and OSHA requires fall protection to be provided at six feet in the construction industry (or any time you’re working over equipment or machinery). When your safety is not prioritized, and you are injured on the job due to a fall, you need our fall hazard attorneys at your side.
