La situaci\u00f3n puede ser inc\u00f3moda y frustrante para el conductor, que debe sortear conos, barreras y otros obst\u00e1culos. Sin embargo, como una de las personas que trabajan en la carretera, que son incre\u00edblemente vulnerables a las lesiones - no s\u00f3lo de los equipos y veh\u00edculos de construcci\u00f3n, sino tambi\u00e9n de los automovilistas que tratan de pasar por la zona de construcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Las muertes en su l\u00ednea de trabajo son un peligro muy real. El problema es tan frecuente que varias agencias federales recopilan informaci\u00f3n sobre las muertes de trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n de carreteras a lo largo de los a\u00f1os. Una revisi\u00f3n de parte de esa informaci\u00f3n podr\u00eda ayudarle a identificar d\u00f3nde es mayor su riesgo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Las cifras no son buenas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El grueso de la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/topics\/highwayworkzones\/default.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">datos analizados<\/a> examina los accidentes con v\u00edctimas mortales de trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n de carreteras desde 2003 hasta 2017. La informaci\u00f3n que figura a continuaci\u00f3n procede de esos datos:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aproximadamente 67% de todas las muertes ocurridas durante el periodo mencionado afectaban a trabajadores de mantenimiento de carreteras, supervisores de primera l\u00ednea de trabajadores de extracci\u00f3n y construcci\u00f3n, operadores de equipos de construcci\u00f3n, conductores de veh\u00edculos pesados y tractores con remolque y peones de la construcci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Alrededor de 62% de los fallecidos pertenec\u00edan al sector privado de la construcci\u00f3n, como los contratistas de oficios especializados y los contratistas de obras pesadas y de ingenier\u00eda civil.<\/li>\n<li>El n\u00famero de trabajadores fallecidos en accidentes de tr\u00e1fico en zonas de construcci\u00f3n alcanz\u00f3 su punto \u00e1lgido en 2002, y luego descendi\u00f3 hasta 2015, cuando las cifras empezaron a aumentar de nuevo.<\/li>\n<li>Durante el periodo en cuesti\u00f3n, la Texas ocup\u00f3 el primer puesto en muertes de trabajadores de la construcci\u00f3n de carreteras.<\/li>\n<li>Los veh\u00edculos que circulaban por la zona de obras atropellaron a muchos de los trabajadores que perdieron la vida.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aunque su empresa le proporcione todos los equipos de seguridad y formaci\u00f3n disponibles, es casi imposible tener en cuenta a los malos conductores. Usted puede escapar de los da\u00f1os causados por los equipos y veh\u00edculos de construcci\u00f3n, pero un conductor que no tenga en cuenta su seguridad en una zona de obras puede causarle da\u00f1os importantes. Sus lesiones podr\u00edan impedirle trabajar durante alg\u00fan tiempo y podr\u00eda necesitar una amplia atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras se recupera de sus lesiones, sus pensamientos se dirigen a c\u00f3mo mantenerse a s\u00ed mismo y a su familia durante este tiempo. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mblaw.org\/es\/san-antonio-abogado-de-compensacion-de-trabajadores\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Espera prestaciones de compensaci\u00f3n por accidente laboral<\/a> sin lugar a dudas, pero no siempre es as\u00ed.
