Common injuries suffered by factory workers

On Behalf of Daniel A. Webb, PA | Nov 6, 2023 | Workers' Compensation

Little Rock is well known for manufacturing goods that make their way throughout the United States and abroad. While technology has advanced the way factories operate, people are still at the heart of the process.

Factory work can provide a steady means of employment and income, but it isn’t without hazards. In fact, thousands of factory workers are injured every year in the U.S. Outlined below are some of the most common causes of injuries to factory workers.

Slips, trips and falls

Workers constantly have to shift around the factory floor. Any hazards can potentially result in falls. For example, if grease has been left on the floor, a factory worker is likely to lose their grip when walking and fall over.

In most factories, workers may also have to work from a height occasionally. Theft may need to climb ladders to reach different products. Improper ladder use, poor maintenance and ladder safety protocols can lead to serious falls from heights.

Incidents with machinery

Heavy machinery has meant that factories can step up production significantly. Nonetheless, it is still up to humans to operate this machinery. The power and speed of machinery makes production seamless, but it also increases danger. Machinery in most factories can cause crushing injuries, fractures, amputations and even fatalities.

Factory workers are entitled to as safe a workplace as possible. Unfortunately, no matter what preventative measures have been taken, accidents can still happen.

A serious work-related injury could leave you without an income for several months or more. Workers’ compensation is one viable option that can alleviate some of the financial pressure. Seek legal guidance to find out if you’re eligible.
