Why You May Need a New Jersey Construction Accident Lawyer for a Bee Sting

A bee, hornet, wasp or other insect is not usually encountered with excitement under the best of circumstances, but when a stinging insect - or worse a swarm of stinging insects - is circling a New York or New Jersey construction worker, then the potential for injury can be significant.

How Your Employer Can Protect You from Insect Bites
At first glance, it may seem like there is nothing that can be done to control buzzing insects on a New York or New Jersey construction site. Accidents, and insect stings, happen; however, construction employers do have some responsibilities for protecting workers from dangerous insect bites.

Specifically, construction employers can prevent New York and New Jersey construction accidents by:
  • Training workers about the risk of exposure, insect identification, how to avoid being stung, and what to do if they are stung.
  • Keeping work areas clean, as wasps may be attracted to food.
  • Maintaining equipment. Insects can create nests on ladder rungs and in other pieces of equipment.
  • Having first aid readily available and knowing when to call 911.

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself

The CDC recommends that you wear light colored clothing, avoid strong scents, shower daily, and know what to do in an emergency. If you are allergic to bee stings or other types of insect bites, then it is important to carry an EpiPen and wear a medical alert identification so that others know about your allergy and can get you the medical help that you need to survive.

When to Call a New Jersey Construction Accident Attorney

If you are a New York or New Jersey construction worker who was seriously hurt by an insect, then you may have the right to recover damages for your injuries.
