Temp Staffing Industry – Crushing Injuries
When heavy equipment is being used, there is always a risk of crushing injuries, or injuries that occur when high force or pressure is applied to a body part. While crushing injuries can occur to workers of all types, temporary workers are highly susceptible to these types of injuries. This is because they may not be properly trained on safety procedures or on how to use the equipment, or might not have as much experience as a permanent employee.
When a temporary employee is involved in a crushing accident, they may experience injuries such as:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Traumatic amputations
- Nerve injuries
- Damage to blood vessels, muscles, and tissues
- Spinal cord injuries
In many cases, injuries from crushing accidents can be life-threatening or even fatal. Injuries like spinal cord damage or nerve injuries can also lead to permanent impairments, which may affect the temporary worker’s quality of life or ability to work.
