Construction Safety & Risk Management

Risk Management and Safety

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the National Safety Council & the CDC:

  • In 2007 alone, the construction industry allocated $400 million to disability spending for hand injury!
  • Hand injuries account for over 1,080,000 emergency department visits by workers per year.
  • Hand injury accounts for one third of all occupational injuries.
  • Costs for these injuries averaged $17,000 each, with 5 days downtime per injured worker.

From the largest contractors to the smallest contractors, if people are working on a jobsite, there will be injuries! Removing the risk for these injuries is every contractors goal. Anytime you have workers using a hammer to drive any type of wood or metal stake in the ground, you have the possibility of injury!

The StrikerTM line of stake driving tools were designed by an excavating contractor for his own crew. Used properly, these tools eliminate injury to the worker. No matter what the ground condition, stakes can be driven safely, quickly and in perfect condition.
