Carpenters work in one of the most dangerous and physically demanding industries. Common hazards include falls from ladders or scaffolds, crush accidents involving heavy machinery, electrical shocks, and injuries from power tools or building materials. Employers must ensure proper training, safety equipment, and safeguards to reduce these risks. If negligence on the part of an employer or third party leads to an injury, carpenters have options, including filing for workers' compensation or pursuing a claim against responsible parties. Protect your rights and learn how to seek compensation after a workplace injury.

From a seemingly harmless bolt striking with the force of a motorcycle to a sledgehammer packing the punch of a city bus, falling objects can pose serious risks on construction sites, leading to hundreds of injuries every year. WorkSafe Victoria’s latest video highlights a case where a sprinkler head fell 26 storeys to street level, with their Dropped Object Calculator estimating its impact at over 153 km/h. This is a good reminder of how even the smallest objects can become dangerous projectiles and how critical it is for employers, employees, and all duty-holders to manage safety risks from falling objects. #SafetyCulture #SafetyFirst #RiskAssessment #WorkplaceSafety #HealthandSafety

You know when a pallet has been stored for a while and the materials are loose, or when it's put down and the banding goes? During site inspections I ask Site Managers to wrap such pallets before moving them. I also ask people to be well clear of Fork Lift Trucks when they are loading and unloading. (sounds obvious - but so many people stand within striking distance!) This is why. A gentleman has lost both legs beneath the knee due to the crushing caused by falling materials. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: 1. Set up an exclusion zone around FLT loading and unloading operations. 2. Check the condition of pallets before lifting. If there is damage, restack to a pallet fit for purpose. 3. If the materials are loose, or could become free, wrap the pallet. Don't be next. https://lnkd.in/eCyVSVxF?

A Sheffield manufacturer has been fined after a devastating workplace accident left an employee permanently disabled. A supervisor suffered life-changing injuries when an 800kg steel pallet fell on him during a night shift in January 2021. The impact led to the amputation of his right lower leg and two toes from his left foot, forever altering his life! 💔 😢 An investigation by the 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 (𝗛𝗦𝗘) found that the pallet had not been properly secured before being lifted with an overhead crane. Shockingly, the company had no consistent system in place to ensure safe pallet removal, nor had it provided Hatton and his team with adequate training or instructions on how to handle the task safely. As a result, the company was fined £60,000 after pleading guilty to breaching the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. ⚠️ 𝘏𝘚𝘌 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵.

Safety Tip: Ensure there are no obstructions near the base and top of your ladder. Secure the base to prevent movement, use a ladder with nonslip feet, or add levelers to an extension ladder to increase stability. Proper setup can prevent accidents and keep you safe on the job! #worksite #construction #OSHA #safety #work #workplace #trade #didyouknow #accidents #tradie #contractor #accident #ladder #US #worker #didyouknow

Daily Safety Tip for Contractors - Never Position Yourself Under a Suspended Load. OSHA states that no employee shall be permitted underneath suspended loads or loads handled by lifting or digging equipment because the load or parts of it may fall and crush them. Workers should also be required to stand away from any vehicle being loaded or unloaded to avoid being struck by any spillage or falling materials. #osha #suspendedload #fallingmaterials

This incident highlights the critical importance of enforcing exclusion zones and clear communication on worksites. Safety measures must never be overlooked to protect workers from preventable injuries!
On 24 August 2020, a 53-year-old worker sustained serious injuries when he was struck by bundles of 6-metre-long steel reinforcement bars being moved by a tower crane at a construction site in Edmondson Park NSW. At the time of the incident, the dogman directing the crane had not established an exclusion zone and workers had not been warned prior to commencing work that a crane would be operating in the vicinity in which they were working. Form Group NSW Pty Ltd entered a plea of guilty to a charge under s 19(1) and 32 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (the Act) and was fined $180,000. The judge found that whilst there was a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) in place the worker was not trained in its contents. The risk was not simply foreseeable, it was foreseen, with the SWMS having made specific reference to the need to ensure workers were not within the slew of a crane. Form Group NSW Pty Ltd have the right to appeal this sentence. #SafeWorkNSW #Prosecution
