Common Dangers In An Industrial Setting

Industrial environments are some of the most hazardous workplaces, with tens of thousands of serious injuries reported every year. In 2020, more than 370,000 workers in the manufacturing sector reported nonfatal injuries, with many cases involving days away from work, restricted duty or necessary job transfers. The potential for accidents is high and common causes include equipment mishaps, slips and falls, and overexertion.

Below are some of the most common injuries manufacturing workers face:

  • Cuts and lacerations from sharp tools or machinery
  • Burns from chemical exposure or fire hazards
  • Bone fractures from falls or being struck by equipment
  • Repetitive strain injuries from making repeat motions
  • Hearing loss from loud machinery

Recognizing these risks can help you understand the potential severity of industrial work-related injuries and why workers need robust protection.
