In construction zones where cranes are simply impractical or one needs to move large groups of individuals or materials at once, hoists are the perfect choice given their ease of use and the lack of complex maneuvering which is often needed when it comes to the operation of cranes. That said, hoists must be installed in the proper manner, by qualified individuals, and be tested and maintained on a regular basis in order to ensure worker safety. OSHA is a government safety agency that has laid out the different safety protocol when it comes to the installation of such structures in construction sites across the country. Should an accident happen involving a hoist, chances are that it was caused by the contravention or not following of OSHA regulations, resulting in injury. If you are a construction worker that was injured by a hoist, you have every right to file a legal claim as this will help you recover money damages for a number of things such as medical bills, lost wages and so much more. In such instances, you’ll need the services of an experienced attorney, and we’re here to help.
