Being an ironworker is consistently ranked among the 10 most dangerous occupations in the world. The ironworkers are responsible for creating New York’s beautiful skyline, often while being required to place themselves in positions of peril.

For this reason, specific safety standards have been enacted in an effort to protect ironworkers who are often required to work high above the city balancing on I-beams that are only inches in width. This precision work requires close attention to safety standards by construction companies, whether it is a general contractors or a subcontractor.

When an ironworker accident occurs, the injuries are often extremely severe and disabling, if not deadly. The risks include falling from a height, falling from ladders, falling from scaffolds, being struck by objects being hoisted, injuries from the use of hand tools, burns from cutting or welding, eye injuries, head injuries, and exposure to asbestos, dust particles and other toxins.
