Agriculture Industry – Common Injury Risks in Soybean Farming Industry
Soybeans are the second most popular crop grown in the United States, and are used in many different types of food products, from sauces to chocolates. When someone enjoys a soybean-based product, it is thanks to your clients and their employees in the soybean farming industry, who work hard to bring soybean products to our tables.
In the soybean farming industry, your clients face many unique injury risks. These include:
- Accidents involving machinery like tractors and combines
- Falls, which can occur while using machinery or working from elevated platforms
- Other slip-and-falls, which can be the result of slippery surfaces, uneven surfaces, or poor weather conditions
- Exposure to herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals commonly used in soybean farming
- Hearing loss and other ear injuries from loud equipment
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Hot and cold weather hazards for outdoor workers, including heat stroke, dehydration, and frostbite
When a worker in the soybean farming industry is involved in an on-the-job accident, it can lead to serious injuries. For example, a fall could lead to paralysis and a traumatic brain injury (TBI) while a machinery entanglement accident could lead to a life-changing traumatic amputation. Some accidents, like chemical exposure or heatstroke, can also exacerbate pre-existing conditions, such as asthma or heart attack risks.
