How Industrial Accidents Happen

Even with a broad commitment to improving safety standards, increased regulatory efforts, and enhanced awareness of the risks associated with certain types of industrial jobs, millions of non-fatal workplace injuries are still reported every year. This is in part because some workplaces are inherently dangerous and come with an elevated risk of injury, even with an increased emphasis on safety.

Some of the industrial jobs that are most at risk include:

• Dock workers
• Fishing workers
• Forestry workers
• Heavy machine operators
• Logging workers
• Maintenance workers
• Roofers
• Sailors
• Transportation workers

These and other industrial occupations and workplaces depend on the frequent use of heavy machinery and other types of dangerous equipment. Workers who work with or near these tools must be sufficiently trained and supervised to decrease the likelihood of a devastating accident. The unfortunate reality is that, even when all workers are appropriately trained, certified, and supervised, a single party’s negligence or mistake can trigger catastrophic consequences.

Many industrial accidents are the result of:

• Electrocution
• Falling objects
• Lack of adequate supervision
• Lack of protective gear
• Machine entanglement
• Machine malfunction
• Scaffolding instability or collapse
• Slips, trips, and falls
• Toxic chemical exposure
• Unstable ladders or climbing equipment
• Vehicle collisions
• Failure to exercise caution when using or working near dangerous machinery
