Struck-by Accidents in Construction/Vehicle Back-Over
Torceduras y Desgarres en la Construccion/Colocacion de Piedra
Sprains and Strains in Construction/Laying Stone
In the U.S., more than 800 construction workers die every year while on the job. Being struck by vehicles, heavy equipment, and other objects is the top cause of injuries and the second cause of death for construction workers, killing more than 150 workers in 2009. But these injuries and deaths can be prevented.
Cada año en Estados Unidos, 31.000 trabajadores de la construcción buscan atención médica debido a esguinces y torceduras sufridas en el trabajo. Estas lesiones ocurren cuando el cuerpo humano se ve obligado a trabajar más allá de sus límites. Levantar, tirar, empujar, alcanzar, doblar y otras actividades comunes de construcción pueden causar estas lesiones.
