2026 Construction Forum

Avoiding Struck-By Accidents in Construction

Struck-by risks cover a wide gambit, from a tool falling from a scaffold, a blind spot on an excavator, a flying fragment from a saw or a wall of dirt collapsing on the workers in the trench below. These are not random abstract risks. They are heavy, fast-moving, real-world incidents that can cause permanent injury or death in a fraction of a second. Hazard awareness is your primary line of defense. It means recognizing a danger before it happens, not after. It means never walking behind a backing vehicle, never working under an unsecured load and never assuming a heavy equipment operator can see you. The importance of this year's Construction Forum cannot be overstated because standard compliance is not enough. Every blind corner, unsecured tool or missing barricade is an accident waiting to happen.
