It is not uncommon for a construction worker to use scaffolding. For many subcontractors, being up on scaffold is all in a day's work. Many of them are so used to the height that they do not think twice about it. And, many other parties at the same construction site can either be put in harm's way or somehow contribute to negligence.
If you are up on a scaffold, you should take care in maintaining your footing and not dropping items to the ground below. Whether you are on the scaffold or simply working around it, safety needs to come first. Keith More has handled cases involving individuals who have been struck by hammers and other debris while working on construction sites. Precautions should be taken by all construction workers to protect their own safety.

Third-Party Liability Claims
A third-party liability claim can be brought if the scaffold fall or collapse occurred as the result of a negligent third party. A third party is any person or entity other than your employer. For example, say you were working on the ground, and a drywaller from another company was working on a scaffold. The drywaller was throwing drywall from the scaffold to the ground, and you got hit in the head by a large piece of drywall, resulting in a head injury. The drywaller or the drywaller's company can be held responsible for the injury.
