Heavy Equipment Risks for Commercial Boaters
When you think of dangers faced by your commercial boating clients, your first thoughts might be dangerous storms or high seas. However, commercial boaters are also at a high risk of injuries due to heavy equipment on their very own decks. To perform their job duties, commercial boaters may come into contact with heavy or dangerous equipment, including:
- Haulers
- Winches
- High-tension cables
- Industrial freezers
- Hydraulic pumps
- Anchors
Even when a commercial boater is experienced with these types of heavy or complex equipment, accidents and injuries can still occur. For example, a worker could be crushed by an improperly-secured freezer. Injuries sustained by deck equipment are not typically fatal, but injuries like broken bones or head injuries can still lead to difficulties and complications.
