The current property boom and pressure to meet building deadlines are cited as the main reasons why construction companies flout building regulations, resulting in an increasing number of accidents.
The employment of unskilled workers and failure to provide training has also resulted in many fatal incidents.
There's only so much skilled labour around, and with all the new construction and rushed deadlines it's stretched pretty thin. And this rising number of accidents on work sites is an indication of crappy labour and substandard quality control. So if you're sitting in your newly built development townhouse, you might want to start checking the walls for cracks every now and then.
