What Are the Deadliest Hazards on Construction Sites? by Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George P.C. Construction sites in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania are full of activity—and risk. From projects like the Stonecrest Business Park in New Beaver Borough to resurfacing efforts along Route 18 in Wilmington Township, workers face hazards every day. Falls, electrocutions, struck-by accidents, and caught-between incidents continue to threaten the safety of those on site. These four hazards, known as OSHA’s Fatal Four, account for a majority of construction-related deaths across the country and remain a key concern for crews throughout Western Pennsylvania.

In New Castle, ongoing commercial developments and infrastructure work, including the East Washington Street bridge replacement and the Berner International expansion in Shenango Township, highlight the importance of maintaining safety standards. OSHA regulations and Pennsylvania’s workplace laws require employers to protect workers through fall protection systems, electrical safety measures, and equipment safeguards. However, when these rules are not followed, injuries happen—sometimes with life-changing consequences.

These cases often involve broken bones, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
