Serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries can result in paralysis. This means that apart from pain and physical suffering, the worker will also have to suffer disability, loss of employment, financial losses, etc.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, 21 percent of fatalities taking place in the construction and building industry are due to people being struck by falling or moving objects. Between the years 2006 and 2007, about 40 people died in these industries as a result of being hit by falling objects.
