Common Types Of Workplace Accidents
No matter the industry, employers have a duty to maintain a safe work environment. Unfortunately, safety violations, negligence, or simple human error can lead to serious injuries. Some of the most common types of workplace accidents include:
Slip And Fall Accidents
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most frequently reported work accidents. Wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, and cluttered work areas can all contribute to a dangerous environment. These incidents can result in back injuries, broken bones, sprains, and even head trauma.
Falling From Heights
For construction workers, roofers, warehouse employees, and others who work on ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms, the risk of falling is always present. Falls from heights can cause catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and paralysis.
Machinery And Equipment Accidents
Employees who work with heavy machinery or industrial equipment face unique hazards. When equipment is defective, improperly maintained, or used without proper training, the consequences can be devastating. Crush injuries, amputations, burns, and other serious harm may occur in these types of accidents.
Struck By Or Caught Between Objects
In busy workplaces like factories and construction sites, it’s not uncommon for workers to be struck by falling tools or materials. In other cases, a worker might get caught between machinery or pinned against a wall. These incidents can cause internal injuries, broken bones, and other life-altering conditions.
