Virtually all construction work involves the use of some sort of toxic substance. For example, bonding and waterproofing chemicals are used for road construction, paints and related chemicals are used in the construction of buildings, and oil and gas are readily accessible on most construction sites. Workers who are exposed to these chemicals on a regular basis can experience serious illnesses and injuries as a result.
