Thousands of honest hardworking construction workers, steel workers, Union members, window washers and others are killed or injured due to improper safety equipment and scaffolds. Edward R.

Young & Associates is here to see that the building owners, landlords and contractors are properly held accountable.

- Ladder Accidents

Ladders, scaffolds and working from heights are all special dangers of working in construction. The dangers come in all forms: extension ladders, A-frame ladders, all of which can slip, tip or collapse. Ladders can break, rungs can fail and the set-up or workplace itself can be improper or dangerous. Ladders and scaffolds and working at heights can all be covered by the Labor Law and other statutes.
