Cannabis industry – Cannabis extractor injury risks
Cannabis products come in many forms, such as CBD oil. To make these products, cannabis extractors use a variety of equipment to remove specific compounds from the cannabis plants. Equipment used in cannabis extractor can be extremely heavy or have many parts, which can put workers at risk of equipment-related injuries.
When a cannabis extraction worker is involved in an equipment accident, they may suffer from injuries like:
- Bruises
- Lacerations
- Broken bones
- Traumatic amputations
- Crushing injuries
- Fire-related injuries
If workers are not properly trained on equipment safety or if extraction equipment is not properly inspected or maintained, injuries are more likely to occur. However, accidents can happen even in well-maintained workplaces.
