On commercial construction sites, heavy equipment and power tools help to get a job done well and on time. Unfortunately, what can be helpful also can be harmful to the contractors and subcontractors on site as well as to bystanders. When scaffolding fails or machinery proves to be defective or safety measures are ignored, debilitating injury or even death can and often does result.
