Scaffolding Falls on Los Angeles Construction Sites

The temporary framework used on construction sites by construction workers to enable them to quickly access parts of the construction site is called scaffolding.  Scaffolding is commonly used and constructed on the outside of buildings to enable workers to repair or fix large structures.  Scaffolding is also commonly used in warehouses on large commercial buildings instead of using a ladder.

Scaffolding is preferred over other alternatives because they are generally more stable than ladders, and they may be constructed in segments where they may be built pursuant to your particular specifications.  Also scaffolding creates a platform in which multiple workers can use at the same time, where the scaffolding can also support heavy equipment which makes their job easier.

As scaffolding can be built to very high levels, if someone were to fall from a scaffolding they could suffer very serious injuries or may be killed because of the negligent of other construction workers.  The most common cause of scaffolding falls are when the scaffolding is improperly constructed or supported resulting in it shifting where it causes a construction worker to lose his balance and fall off the scaffolding.
