Phoenix Construction Site Accident Involving Fallen Granite Injures Worker
A number of Arizona construction accidents occur because of falling objects. This can be quite devastating because construction workers often deal with heavy materials, machinery and equipment. When an object of significant size or weight falls on a construction worker, he can suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries.
A recent report from the Arizona Republic shows how such a horrific construction site accident can occur. According to this news report, a construction worker was injured at a construction site near 24th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix when a heavy piece of granite fell on top of him as he was working on a new office building. The worker suffered injuries to his leg. Phoenix Fire Department officials said the piece of granite that fell weighed between 700 and 1,000 pounds.
The unfortunate fact is that these construction accidents that severely injure workers and sometimes even leave them with permanent disabilities could be prevented. These accidents occur because of someone's inattention or negligence. It could occur because a contractor or sub-contractor did not follow proper safety procedures or neglected to maintain a safe working environment.
