Warehouse Industry – Crushing Accidents
In a warehouse, heavy equipment and vehicles are often used to move, load, or unload items. This puts warehouse workers at a high risk of crushing injuries, or injuries that occur when high force or pressure is applied to a body part.
When a warehouse 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 warehouse worker’s quality of life or ability to work.
