Common Power Tool & Electrical Hazards
There are countless ways workers can be hurt by power tools and electricity on a construction site. Many of these ways can be attributed to improper management, manufacturing, or actions by fellow workers.
Compensation may be possible for cases of:
- Tool manufacturing defects
- Unsafe worker actions around saws and other dangerous tools
- Electrical arcing due to power line or crane placement
- Dangerous/incomplete grounding work for electrical components
- Improper “lockout/tagout” practices
- Tools that were bought from unlicensed resellers before a project
- Tools that were not properly maintained
- Tools that were not properly stored
