Struck-By Hazards in Construction Picture This

One worker appears to be injured after being struck by a heavy object, possibly a beam or board, and is sitting on the floor in pain. The object may have fallen or been mishandled, suggesting poor material handling practices or a lack of hazard awareness. No visible barriers, signage, or lifting equipment are in place, and the workspace is cluttered, increasing the risk of struck-by incidents.

Always secure materials properly and use mechanical aids or team lifts when moving heavy objects. Maintain clean and organized work areas to reduce tripping and struck-by hazards. Provide training on safe lifting and handling techniques and ensure proper PPE like steel-toe boots and gloves are used. Evaluate the workspace for potential hazards and implement controls to protect all workers.
