Do You Know The Top Four Construction Site Hazards

If there’s one thing that everyone wants on a construction site, it is increased safety for the crew.

A new study done by the Journal of Safety Research looked at 1360 construction industry workers’ compensation insurance policyholders to investigate the correlation between the number of visits by a loss prevention professional and lost-time injuries.

What they found: There is a significant reduction in risk of lost-time injuries after just a SINGLE visit by a loss prevention professional. The reduction of risk continues with two or three visits. Decreasing the risk of an accident is something that all construction sites should strive for. This study proves that by simply providing safety education through the consultation of a risk/loss professional, work sites become safer, injuries and accidents become less frequent, and the cost of workers’ compensation premiums will not skyrocket.
