Common Causes Of Burn Injuries At Construction Sites

Construction sites are filled with fuel sources, high-voltage wires and many other objects with the potential to cause explosions or burns that lead to severe injury or death. Some of the most common causes of burn and explosion injuries include:

​

• Defective fuel lines

• Exploding fuel tanks

• Gas line explosion

• Live electrical wires

• Improperly marked electrical wiring

• Exploding cleaning products

• Welding equipment

Burns can also result from the many toxic substances that are used at construction sites. These injuries are just as severe as electrical burns or thermal burns; seek medical attention as soon as possible after any type of burn injury.
