Scaffolding Collapse

During the construction or restoration of a building, workers may erect scaffolding that provides a platform for working on the outside of the building. Scaffolding is a temporary structure that typically consists of a series of platforms and rails.

When scaffolding is shoddily constructed, it may collapse, seriously injuring those on and near the structure.

Dangerous Scaffolding

Although scaffolding is temporary, it should still be sturdy to ensure the safety of construction workers. When scaffolding is incorrectly or negligently assembled, it may not be able to support the individuals who use it. Dangerous scaffolding may have:

• Improperly secured platforms
• Weak or insufficient railing
• A lack of adequate bolts

Scaffolding that has these characteristics may be prone to collapsing. Depending on the height of the scaffolding, this could mean that an affected construction worker falls several stories. Additionally, the scaffolding may collapse on top of a construction worker. Either of these accidents may result in:

• Head and brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones

Depending on the severity of these injuries, a construction worker may pass away as a result of a scaffolding collapse.
