Serious Construction Site Accidents Could Result From Heavy Machinery Accidents
Heavy machinery poses a unique risk to workers on a construction site. Almost all construction projects, especially larger commercial and residential projects, use large support structures and heavier building materials and heavy machinery is often used to expedite the process of moving and sometimes installing these materials. These machines, while useful, present a unique hazard to construction workers; their convenient nature belies the possibility of serious injury while using them on a construction site.
A few recent examples illustrate the potential hazards posed by heavy machinery. A skid steer, also known as a Bobcat or a front loader, is a common site on construction sites, being used to move large amounts of dirt or other heavy materials. Smaller than a backhoe or other earth-moving machines, it is a useful tool for larger construction sites. The operator of the vehicle could put his coworkers and himself at risk if this machine is used improperly. In three recent cases, these machines were responsible for serious injuries and in two cases a fatality. In Alberta, Canada, two men were working excavating a basement when their skid steer toppled over and pinned them both to the floor. The men were soon rescued by emergency responders and taken to the hospital. In a tragic case here in the United States, a young boy who had gone to work with his father was killed when he fell out of his father’s lap while riding in a skid steer. Preliminary reports indicate that the child was thrown from the vehicle while his father backed up and was subsequently struck on the head by the large bucket full of dirt. In another accident involving a skid steer, a man fell seven stories inside one of the vehicles while participating in demolition work in Chicago.
These small and agile machines are most assuredly not the only vehicles involved in serious construction accidents. While not as common on smaller construction sites, cranes still play a significant role in assisting workers on the job with lifting heavy pieces of building material such as floor joists and beam supports. Crane accidents make up a significant portion of construction accidents. In a recent case in New York, a man was killed when the boom arm of a crane snapped off and crushed the operator as he was working on a bridge. Reports give no clear indication as to what cause the boom to collapse. Crane accidents could be caused by many different factors or malfunctions. In international news, reports of a crane collapse which killed seven men as they worked on a rail line in India were released a few weeks ago.
Often, injured construction site workers seek compensation for their injuries via legal recourse. It is often advisable for any worker or family member of one who has been injured on a construction site to contact an experienced construction accident attorney to develop a construction accident lawsuit as soon as possible.

Nomogram construction?
I know what is nomogram, but I don’t know how to construct one. I have seen them in books, journals etc., but in all those sources only application is illustrated.
Is there a book which gives a detailed tutorial like how to construct nomogram from basics or a software which can construct the nomogram, given the data as input?
Hope a look at the following web pages would be helpful:
