Protecting Workers in Houston’s Most Dangerous Industries
From refineries and warehouses to construction sites and manufacturing plants, Houston’s workforce is the backbone of our economy. Unfortunately, many job sites are filled with hazards — heavy machinery, high-voltage equipment, toxic chemicals, and elevated work areas — that can cause serious injury or death if safety measures are ignored.
At McAlpine Law, we stand up for injured workers when employers, contractors, or third parties fail to keep workplaces safe. We know the laws that protect employees, the tactics companies use to avoid responsibility, and how to build a case that holds them fully accountable.

Common Types of Workplace & Industrial Accidents
Falls from Heights
Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms can cause catastrophic injuries, especially when safety harnesses or guardrails are missing.
Machinery Accidents
Crush injuries, amputations, and entanglements often result when equipment lacks proper guards or is not maintained.
Electrocutions
Contact with exposed wiring, faulty equipment, or power lines can lead to severe burns or death.
Toxic Exposure
Inhaling or handling hazardous chemicals without proper protection can cause lung damage, skin burns, or long-term illnesses.
