A construction site should be a safe place to work. Construction companies should inspect each site and provide safety programs, but often this is neglected. This leads to accidents, many of which are preventable.

Manufacturers of construction equipment are responsible for designing and maintaining safe products. Defective or dangerous products can include scaffolding, cranes, power tools, derricks, hoists, conveyors, woodworking tools, ladders, winches, trucks, graders, scrapers, tractors, bulldozers, forklifts, backhoes, heavy equipment, boilers, pressure vessels and gas detectors, as well as many other types of construction equipment.

When a construction site accident occurs, a variety of parties may be responsible for inadequate safety provisions. The general contractor and subcontractors are required to provide a reasonably safe site, inspect and warn of hazards inherent to the site, hire careful employees, coordinate job safety and supervise compliance with safety regulations.
