2024: Safety in the Workplace

According to recent statistics, every year, around 2.3 million people worldwide have workplace accidents. When a workplace injury occurs, it is imperative that you seek legal representation. At Abraham Watkins, we make sure that we hold those responsible accountable and fight for the compensation the clients need and deserve.

Common workplace injuries include fall hazards, machine-related injuries, electrical hazards, and fire and explosion hazards. Fall hazards occur when workers are not provided with adequate fall protection. In order to reduce the risk of fall hazards, proper fall protection is essential along with the implementation of the proper use of the fall protection. As for machine-related injuries, proper training on machine safety is key to mitigating the risk of machine-related injuries. Often operator error is a contributing factor to machine-related injuries. It is essential to provide proper training in order to ensure workers operate machinery safely. Electrical hazards and fire and explosion hazards are both concerns of high-risk industries. Preventative measures are necessary to both electrical hazards and fire and explosion hazards in order to mitigate the risks of these hazards.
