How do you assess and prevent construction accidents?
Ä¢¹½tv has worked in construction failure analysis for over 50 years and has multidisciplinary expertise in assessing and preventing the leading causes of construction fatalities — falls, strikes from falling objects, electrocution, equipment accidents, and entrapment by building materials.
Ä¢¹½tv provides multidisciplinary expertise at every accident response stage
First priority for Ä¢¹½tv is rescue and recovery of the victims, which often requires Ä¢¹½tv's engineering knowledge for stabilization and extraction. Next, we evaluate the accident area and unsafe conditions, such as unstable debris or dangerous materials, addressing these so investigation and site clearing can begin. We determine possible causes as well as additional hazards related to similar site conditions and recommend implementation of appropriate repairs.
Preserving key evidence is critical
A critical aspect of Ä¢¹½tv's response is the preservation of key evidence, which enables our consultants to continue investigating accidents after construction has resumed. Our preservation activities include photographic and or photogrammetric site documentation and securing materials or components involved in the accident for lab testing.
Capabilities
Ä¢¹½tv's highly qualified team of engineering consultants help identify potential safety risks and assess construction accidents, injuries, and failures so you can address and overcome safety challenges.
