Understanding the High Risks in Construction
The construction industry is notorious for its hazards, making it one of the most dangerous fields for workers. From high elevations to heavy machinery, the risk of injury is a daily reality. Here in Florida, with a construction boom that dates back to the 1920s, the stakes are even higher due to some long-standing issues with construction practices. We’re here to help when those risks turn into reality. Frequent turnover and varying levels of training among workers can further exacerbate these risks, leading to an increased likelihood of accidents. Moreover, the intense pace of work demanded to meet deadlines can sometimes lead to compromised safety measures, putting workers at even greater risk. At Nance Cacciatore, we understand these complexities and are committed to advocating for the rights and safety of construction workers who face these dangers every day.
