I hear about accidents like this one quite a bit, and always have to wonder steps employers are taking to make sure they’re prevented. Scaffolding accidents can be pretty common, because construction workers have to use them, and they’re often vey hastily planned. Again, accidents like this happen a lot, so it seems like with a little bit of foresight, accidents like this one could easily be prevented. I don’t think construction workers are asking too much to be able to go to work every day without the worry of falling to one’s death constantly being in the back of their heads.
