OSHA & WISHA Safety Regulations

Legal Help for Those Injured Due to OSHA and WISHA Violations

Construction sites are dangerous places, with potential accidents lurking around every corner. When a worker is seriously injured or killed, it can easily appear they were at fault. However, maintaining worksite safety is a collaborative effort between general contractors, sub-contractors and other third parties. Determining who is truly at fault for an injury or fatal accident may require an intense investigation.

Understanding OSHA and WISHA Safety Regulations

Jobsite safety is not taken lightly by either federal or state governing agencies. Regulations are in place at both levels, delegating duties for each person working on a construction site. Necessary safety measures can include:

• Safely setting up the construction site, including visibly posting safety requirements and making manuals and other forms of notification available
• Instituting protection measures against falls, trench collapses and heavy equipment accidents
• Appointing a specific, qualified person to make required inspections

When a construction site accident takes place Attorney Toole investigates, reviewing each piece of the chain of command to determine who is ultimately responsible for the accident and resulting injuries.
