What is often the cause of accidents at manufacturing sites? Correct Answer Deaths due to falling in trenches and electricity

There are many causes of an accident at manufacturing sites. The top causes of construction worker deaths on the job were falls, followed by struck by an object, electrocution, and caught-in/between. These “Fatal Four” were responsible for nearly three out of five of the construction worker deaths.

Important Points

Some examples of construction site accidents are as follows:

  • Fall may occur when a worker near an open-sided floor steps backwards or sideways without looking. Falling hazards also commonly occur on stairwells with no guardrails. Since high elevations often play a role in these falls, the results can be a disastrous event to workers who sustain serious injuries. The main cause of death in construction occurs where inadequate or no fall protection is provided.

  • Electrocution: Getting electrocuted on a construction site can have devastating effects. It can lead to burned injuries, nerve damage, muscular contractions and in some cases, victims can suffer cardiac arrest. 

Thus, we can say that deaths due to falling in trenches and electricity is often considered as the cause of accidents at manufacturing sites.
