Roofing Industry – Traumatic Brain Injuries
Since workers in the roofing industry frequently use heavy equipment and materials and perform work at high heights, they are particularly susceptible to traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs. TBIs occur when someone experiences a sudden, violent hit to the head. In the roofing industry, TBIs can occur if a worker hits their head after falling from a roof or other high place, or if they are hit with a piece of material, equipment, or debris.
TBIs take many forms. In some cases, someone may exhibit minor or temporary symptoms, including headaches, sensitivity to light, confusion, or a brief loss of consciousness. In more severe cases, a TBI can lead to serious effects, such as:
- Convulsions or seizures
- Behavioral changes, including an increase in aggression
- Prolonged loss of consciousness or a coma
When someone experiences a severe TBI, it can have a permanent impact on their behavior, speech, and memory. For example, someone might develop serious memory loss after a TBI.
