Common Causes for Scaffolding and Ladder Accidents in New Jersey

When working at construction sites, ladders and scaffolding are used to help construction workers reach high places. While they are required in order to ensure safe working from heights, accidents can occur. These accidents can result in serious injuries. Some of the most common causes of scaffolding accidents include the following:

  • Defective equipment or parts
  • Failure to provide sufficient safety training to workers
  • Improper installation of the scaffolding
  • Failure to provide workers with personal protective equipment
  • Failure to maintain or test scaffolding equipment
  • Absence of safety features such as guards and handrails on scaffolding
  • Unsafe walking surfaces e.g. missing boards on the scaffolding floor

Some of the most common causes of ladder accidents include:

  • Using a ladder that is too short
  • Failure to position the ladder properly. For example, placing the ladder too far away from the area to be reached
  • Failure to place a ladder on firm and level ground
  • Failure to secure the ladder in place
  • Failure to maintain three points of contact while on the ladder
  • Using the ladder in poor weather conditions
