Sandy Recovery Brings in Construction Crews from Across Country
Thousands of construction workers are converging on the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy. Workers from New Jersey, New York, and states across the country are coming to help and to earn their wages where their assistance will be greatly appreciated. They will be cleaning up messes, demolishing damaged buildings, and repairing others. And throughout, safety will be a top concern.
According to ENR Construction, “One electrical worker who came in from Michigan was told only to head East ‘until you get to the ocean.’”
One official said that Hurricane Sandy ranked in the top five storms based on the number of workers deployed—with the area needing everyone from electric company personnel to general laborers.
With storm clean-up comes unique dangers. As a storm like Sandy rips apart buildings and structures, the debris left behind can be dangerous. You are working in less than ideal conditions, stepping with unsure footing, and where the risks are high for an injury.
Ensuring safety on worksites like this will be a team effort.
