Causes of Head and Brain Injuries

Construction site safety procedures are designed to protect workers and passersby from head and brain trauma. Sadly, these devastating injuries continue to occur. Among the most common causes of head injuries on construction sites are:

• Falling objects
• Blunt force of objects
• Slips and falls

Wearing a helmet has proven to be one of the most effective ways to protect construction workers from head and brain injuries on work sites. These helmets should be worn at all times and must be fastened correctly. Slip and fall head trauma is often caused by the failure to warn employees of potentially slick areas. Even a seemingly minor fall can lead to a significant brain injury.
