Temp Staffing Industry – Lacerations
When a temporary worker is brought onto a worksite, they may have to learn how to operate new equipment or learn the complex in-and-outs of workplace safety procedures. If they are improperly trained on equipment handling or any safety polices, it increases their risk of workplace injuries, including lacerations. Lacerations can be the result of many types of accidents, including slip and falls, machinery mishaps, improperly marked areas like low overhangs, or exposure to sharp objects, like a broken piece of equipment.
In minor cases, lacerations can be easily treated and heal without any lasting impact. However, deep or serious lacerations can lead to complications such as:
- Permanent scarring
- Muscle and tendon damage
- Infections, like tetanus
- Traumatic brain injuries, if the lacerations if accompanied by a fall or other accident that causes an impact to the head
In extreme situations, a laceration can even result in the amputation of a limb or the development of a life-threatening infection, like sepsis or necrotizing fasciitis.
