What Can An Industrial Injuries Do to the Body?
Industrial catastrophic injuries can affect various areas on the body. Falling objects can head workers on the head and lead to traumatic brain injuries. These objects can also cause spinal cord damage. People can also suffer traumatic brain injuries if they fall from a great height. Small pieces of debris can fly into workers’ eyes and cause scratches and other forms of eye trauma. A worker could accidentally crush a limb or other body part if they become pinned between two heavy objects. Workers who are not properly trained could accidentally severe a finger, hand, or limb using heavy machinery. Workers can also be injured when they are exposed to toxic chemicals while on a work site. This exposure could lead to burns or irritation on the eyes, face, and skin.
As you can see, industrial injuries can affect every part of the body. The most serious injuries are usually observed in catastrophes that involve collapsing structures, explosions, or large fires.
Our Team Discusses Where Industrial Injuries Occur in the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Barbara County
Industrial injuries can occur on any type of industrial work site. Some of the most common places where industrial accidents occur include chemical refineries, construction sites, warehouses, mines, and manufacturing plants.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that one in five worker deaths occur in the construction industry every year. OSHA has even coined the term “Fatal Four” to describe the four most common causes of construction worker deaths, which are falls, being struck by an object, electrocutions, and being caught in-between two objects.
When Industrial Injuries Occur, When Should I See A Doctor?
If you have been involved in an industrial accident, it’s strongly recommended that you see a doctor right away, even if you do not believe your injuries are severe. In fact, even if you do not think you are injured, you should still be examined by a medical professional. Some injuries are not obvious at first but may worsen over the next several hours or days. It’s best to seek medical attention as soon as possible to spot any of these injuries that you may not be aware of.
Our Skilled Team Explains How Industrial Accidents Can Be Avoided
Employers have a legal obligation to provide workers with a workplace that is free from hazards. Companies must comply with all federal regulations established by OSHA. For example, employers are required to provide their employees with the protective gear they need to stay safe while at work. Employers are also legally required to protect employees from exposure to toxic chemicals and to inspect machinery to ensure it is safe before allowing employees to use it. If every company complied with all of the federal safety regulations that are currently in place, many industrial accidents could be avoided.
But, industrial accidents cannot be completely avoided just by complying with regulations. Each and every employee should be alert while working in a dangerous environment to protect themselves and their co-workers.
