USL&H Industry – Weather Risks for Marina Operators
On the water, there’s an increased risk of dangers related to inclement weather, like flooding, intense lightning, and hazards from hurricanes and other severe storms. This means that marina operators are at an increased risk of weather-related injuries, since their job may often put them in the center of dangerous weather conditions.
When a marina operator or other marina employee works in dangerous weather conditions, they are at risk of a wide variety of accidents and injuries. In wet conditions from heavy rain, they may experience slip-and-falls, which can contribute to back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. If they fall from a wet dock, they are also at risk of drowning or being injured by nearby boats or other objects, particularly during a storm. They may also experience electrocution injuries from lightning, which can lead to death or life-long disabilities.
In damage occurs to the marina or other nearby buildings during a severe storm, marina employees may also suffer from injuries relating to falling debris, uneven or damaged walkways, or dangerous debris in flooded areas.
