Dumper Trucks On A Building Site

Dumpers are an essential part of a construction site or building project. Unfortunately they are pieces of machinery that if not handled or operated correctly can cause several problems or even more severe injury that might lead to a personal injury claim. The whole point to using a dumper is that they can move a lot of ground and ‘dump’ building materials such as sand and cement close to the area it is needed.

The most fatal injuries occur as a result of dumpers overturning or collisions. This is collisions with pedestrians when the vehicle is reversing or going forwards on site.

There are procedures and practices in place that control and reduce the risk of injury caused from the dumper truck overturning and these are implemented on every construction site, to reduce these risks.
