- Inadequate warnings
- Defective products such as ladders, power equipment, scaffolding, etc.
- Trips and falls due to uncovered holes, exposed rebar, etc.
- Violations of safety regulations
- Lack of proper safety equipment
- Improper training
- Improper supervision
- Careless storage of materials, debris or equipment
- Fires and explosions
- Inadequate lighting
