Phoenix Scaffolding Accident Lawyer
Experienced Legal Support for Scaffolding Accidents in Arizona
Scaffolding is a temporary platform constructed in order to reach high places to complete the construction, maintenance, or repair of a building. Due to the hazards workers face while working on or near scaffolding, Arizona sets certain safety laws designed to prevent injuries. These laws are regulated by the Arizona Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Among other precautions, Arizona OSHA often requires workers to have scaffolding training and certification. Arizona OSHA also specifies the types of material that can be used to construct the scaffolding, such as certain kinds of lumber, if not steel. Based on the design weight limitations may apply, and regular checks are required to ensure the structure is in good condition.
Scaffolding accidents and injuries can almost always be avoided when construction sites are in compliance with OSHA regulations. When they are not, the general contractor and subcontractors on the job site may be held liable for injuries to workers. It requires an understanding of the Arizona OSHA code and frequently a construction accident expert to determine who was responsible for erecting and maintaining the scaffolding under Arizona OSHA standards.
At Alex & Associates, we understand the ins and outs of scaffolding regulations and construction site laws. To discuss your claim with an experienced lawyer, give us a call at (602) 483-6114. Se habla español.
