Temp Staffing Industry – Equipment Injuries
For workers in industries that use heavy machinery, it can take some time to learn the best practices for safely and efficiently operating the necessary machinery. Unfortunately, this can cause issues for temporary workers, who may not have as much time or training on how to best operated heavy or dangerous machinery, like forklifts or compactors. This increases the risk of equipment-related injuries, including:
- Lacerations
- Broken bones
- Crushed fingers or limbs
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Electrical burns
- Traumatic amputations
In many situations, injuries caused by heavy machinery can cause permanent damage. For example, a temporary worker could lose an arm in a crushing accident or suffer brain damage from a traumatic brain injury after a fall from a forklift. Injuries like these can also be fatal.
