Recycling Industry – Machinery Risks in Paper Recycling
In the paper recycling industry, your clients may frequently use fast-moving or dangerous machinery, including:
- Conveyor systems
- Baling machines
- Shredders
- Granulators
- Pulpers and hydrapulpers
- Roll splitters
- Forklifts
Your clients are likely well-trained on how to handle machinery like these, and may use personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves or boots to protect themselves against machinery-related accidents. However, the frequent use of dangerous machinery like shredding and conveyor belts can still put your paper recycling industry clients at a risk of injuries, especially if they are working with faulty or poorly maintained machinery.
In the paper recycling industry, machinery injuries can range from mild lacerations to severe injuries, like traumatic amputations. In some cases, especially those involving heavy or fast-moving machinery, machinery accidents can result in fatal or life-threatening injuries, like blood loss, organ damage, or crushing injuries. Machinery accidents can also lead to life-long complications, like permanent scarring or paralysis.
