It\u2019s a pretty common occurrence for contractors, subs and suppliers to leave materials strewn across a construction site. But just because it happens doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t rightfully seek compensation when you\u2019ve been injured as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owners, developers, contractors and sub-contractors all have a duty to take reasonable steps to minimize the risk of injury on a construction site<\/strong>. It may be impossible to make a site completely safe, but there\u2019s really no excuse for leaving items around that may cause injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specific guidelines for minimizing job injury on a construction site. Any storage areas or walkways on a construction site must be free of debris, and flammable or hazardous wastes must be stored in separate containers from ordinary job site debris. Additionally, OSHA requires that waste and job site debris be removed from the site on a regular basis, based on the rate of accumulation and the capacity of dumpsters or other containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We offer a free initial consultation to anyone in New Jersey who is the victim of a construction site accident, including individuals injured in a construction accident due to unsafe conditions. For a meeting, contact us online or call us at 732-780-0230<\/a><\/strong> for an appointment.
