Risks to Construction Ironworkers

While all construction workers face risks, it is the ironworkers who are often putting together the steel frame of the building with heavy equipment and in all kinds of weather. Accordingly, many New Jersey ironworker injuries occur because ironworkers:
  • Work outside in all kinds of weather. The wind, rain, ice, snow, and lightening may all present potential dangers for an ironworker.
  • Work with heavy equipment that could cause serious injury or death. Specifically, the equipment that ironworkers use to move and assemble their structures can crush them, fall on them or run them over.
  • Work at great heights. Falls are one of the most significant threats facing ironworkers.

Any of these accidents can result in significant injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, amputations or even death.
