S\u00ed, existen riesgos inherentes a este tipo de trabajo, pero sus conocimientos y experiencia pueden contribuir a menudo a mitigarlos. Su empresario en San Antonio tambi\u00e9n tiene la misi\u00f3n de garantizar que usted y sus compa\u00f1eros de trabajo est\u00e9n protegidos de cualquier peligro en el trabajo. Dado que la mayor\u00eda de los accidentes de la construcci\u00f3n se deben a unas pocas causas, el hecho de que su empresa no le proteja de ellos puede considerarse negligencia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/oshstats\/commonstats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Administraci\u00f3n de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo<\/a> ha recopilado datos sobre accidentes en la construcci\u00f3n para identificar las causas de la mayor\u00eda de estos incidentes. Cuatro factores diferentes destacan entre el resto. Conocidos como \"los cuatro fatales\", son los siguientes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cataratas<\/li>\n<li>Ca\u00edda de objetos<\/li>\n<li>Electrocuciones<\/li>\n<li>Quedar atrapado en la maquinaria o entre equipos y materiales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tan recientemente como en 2017, estos cuatro factores causaron casi el 60 por ciento de todas las muertes relacionadas con la construcci\u00f3n en los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>Las ca\u00eddas, en particular, fueron la causa m\u00e1s com\u00fan de muertes en la construcci\u00f3n, causando m\u00e1s del 39 por ciento de los casos por s\u00ed solas. Lo alarmante de este dato es que los problemas que contribuyen a las ca\u00eddas se situaron entre los m\u00e1s citados por la OSHA en 2018. La protecci\u00f3n contra ca\u00eddas y los problemas relacionados con andamios y escaleras fueron los culpables m\u00e1s comunes. Se podr\u00eda argumentar que esto demuestra una falta de preocupaci\u00f3n por parte de las empresas de construcci\u00f3n si, sabiendo que las ca\u00eddas son tan frecuentes, a\u00fan contin\u00faan ofreciendo una protecci\u00f3n adecuada contra ellas. Tal inacci\u00f3n podr\u00eda ser f\u00e1cilmente <a href=\"hhttps:\/\/mblaw.org\/san-antonio-work-injury-lawyer\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">interpretado como negligencia<\/a>cuya presencia en su caso podr\u00eda justificar que emprendiera acciones legales.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While statistics show that work in the construction industry consistently ranks among the most dangerous professions, and a practitioner of it you may not recognize the dangers.
