Description: | Under United States law, responsibility for construction site injuries falls upon several and, frequently many, participants in the construction process, including the injured party's employer, other contractors on the site, the site/project owner, equipment suppliers and distributors, public officials and design professionals. A site owner may have safety responsibilities based upon common law duties as a premises owner to disclose dangerous conditions to users of the premises, even though the contractor assumes a high degree of control, per above.
