Construction Site Accident Compensation

Construction has the highest number of fatal injuries in the main industry groups. With 53 fatalities in 2008/2009, only agriculture and extraction have higher death rates. Despite this, the number of fatal injuries has dropped 34% in the last three years.

3million working days were lost in the last year alone due to workplace and injury and ill health. This is mainly because most construction jobs are very physically demanding, meaning that workers are putting themselves under strain regularly and increasing their risk of personal injury and other work-related illness.

There are a large number of ways an employee can suffer an injury at a construction site and at PIC Claim we can help you get construction site accident compensation for all of these. Some of the most common accidents on construction sites include falls from height, dangerous machinery and slips trips and falls.

Construction Work Accidents - Health & Safety


Employers have a huge responsibility to ensure you are safe and protected from accidents at work on a construction site. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are constantly setting targets to reduce the numbers of workplace deaths and injuries caused by accidents that could have been easily avoided with the correct training and safety procedures.

The government organisation is currently carrying out unannounced checks of construction sites around the UK. It’s likely that those who are found to not be adhering to certain criteria could face hefty fines, or even being closed down, depending on their ability to change for the better.

In particular the HSE are looking at the problem of employees suffering fall from height accidents. There are very strict rules covering such accidents, specified in the Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Act of 1992, as well as the Work at Height Regulations 2005, which requires employers carry out regular risk assessments to ensure potential dangers are made as safe as possible.
