Defective products are a major portion of product liability cases. In commercial and industrial construction sites their are many products in use, such as tools, heavy machinery, cranes, tractors, safety harnesses, scaffolding, ladders, and other miscellaneous construction equipment. Sometimes these tools and appliances can arrive defective to the construction site from the manufacturer. In such cases, these unsafe defective products can infict injury and harmful damage to construction workers or passersby.

In response to this, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) publishes numerous guidelines for safety concerns involving commercial and industrial construction sites.

Here are some ways some defective products may be harmful:

• Ladders - Falling off an insecure or defective ladder.
• Scaffolding - Falling off or on while scaffold collapses.
• Tools - Defective electronic equipment may electrocute the operator.
• Safety Harness - If defective, harness may not properly hold fast.
