Scaffolding Accident
Scaffolding is a makeshift framework used to support people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other construction projects. It is usually a modular system of metal pipes, although scaffolding can be made out of other materials.
In the National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), conducted in 2005, an average of 88 fatalities occurred in the years 2000-2004 from scaffold accidents and when staging scaffolding. In a Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) study, 72% of workers injured in scaffold accidents attributed the accident either to the planking or support giving way, or to the employee slipping or being struck by a falling object. All of these scaffolding accidents can be controlled by compliance with construction safety standards.
