Construction and home improvement projects, especially those that involve window installation on upper floors, involves tasks that can put lives in danger. That’s why contractors are required to attend proper training seminars to learn safety regulations and to be in good condition to work. This is important because we’d like to avoid incidents like what was reported on cbslocal.com, wherein a worker met a fatal accident:
SAN MATEO (CBS SF) — A worker died in a fall at a residential construction site at the former Bay Meadows racetrack in San Mateo Tuesday afternoon, officials said.
The accident was reported at 3:25 p.m. at an under-construction housing development at Bay Meadows where a worker had fallen 15 feet onto his head, San Mateo Deputy Fire Chief John Healy said.
Cal/OSHA is opening an investigation into the incident, Siggins said.
“If the employer is found to have violated any workplace safety procedures they will be cited,” he said.
We express our condolences to the family of the worker. This unfortunate accident could happen anywhere and at any time. So if you’re thinking about having your home improvements like your windows redone, make sure to do your research thoroughly on San Francisco window companies. It is highly recommended that you get one that is insured, licensed, and has trained professionals with enough experience working in the team. Having the mentioned requirements indicates that the company knows how to take on responsibility and is therefore reliable.
Avoid accidents by hiring only responsible, skilled, and expertly trained window contractors in San Francisco to do your home improvement projects. In line with this, Renewal by Andersen has always put the welfare of its people first and foremost, which means the company doesn’t allow safety protocol violations on its watch. They see to it that their workers have the necessary skill set to professionally and safely perform installations or repairs.
