There's a reason why a hard hat and boots are essential requirements for any worker on a construction site because accidents are inevitable.
Any builder, electrician or labourer will be able to tell you their own horror stories about the worst that could happen on a site but we would like to think that only a handful of these trips to the hospital were self inflicted.
