Temporary Staffing – Crushing Injury Risks
While temporarily filling in for a role at a workplace like a warehouse, manufacturing plant, or construction site, your clients in the temporary staffing industry may use heavy equipment and vehicles to move, load, or unload items. If they do not receive proper training on how to use this equipment, they may be at an increased risk of dangerous crushing injuries.
A crushing accident is an accident that occurs when high force or pressure is applied to a body part. For example, someone in the agriculture industry could be caught beneath their tractor in a tractor tip-over accident, or a manufacturing worker could get struck by a forklift.
For your clients in the temporary staffing industry, crushing accidents can lead to injuries like:
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Traumatic amputations
- Nerve injuries
- Damage to blood vessels, muscles, and tissues
- Spinal cord injuries
In many cases, injuries from crushing accidents can be life-threatening or even fatal. Injuries like spinal cord damage or nerve injuries can also lead to permanent impairments, which may affect a temporary worker’s quality of life or ability to work.
Due to risks like these, temporary staffing is often considered to be a high-risk industry.
