USL&H Industry – Slip and Fall Risks for Marina Workers
Marina workers have many important duties to keep their marina safe and well-maintained, including docking and securing boats. This may require frequent movement, such as getting in and out of boats coming to dock at the marina, and may exposure them to workplace hazards like slippery docks, docks without railings, or poor lighting conditions.
Due to hazards like these, marina workers are at a high risk of slip-and-fall accidents. For example, a marina worker could fall while stepping from an improperly secured boat or slip while walking on a wet dock. When slip-and-fall accidents like these occur, marina workers may suffer from an array of injuries. These include:
- Broken bones
- Strains and sprains
- Lacerations
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
They are also at an increased risk of drowning, as a slip-and-fall at a marina could cause them to fall into the water.
Injuries sustained by marina workers during slip-and-falls can range from mild, like broken bones or minor strains, to severe and life-threatening, like spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries. Risks like these are why your clients in the USL&H industry need the right coverage. Unfortunately, these high risks also make it difficult to find coverage.
