Workplace crush injuries are most common in settings where heavy machinery or materials are used. This could be in the construction industry, such as on a building site, in farming or agriculture, in manufacturing, warehouses or any workplace where heavy items are present e.g. storerooms. Some crush injuries at work could be caused by:
- Heavy goods or items falling from height
- Machinery that draws a hand or limb into it
- Heavy equipment that isn’t under the full control of the operator(s)
- Insecure loads slipping or falling onto someone
- An incident where someone is pinned between machinery and a hard surface e.g. a wall
Common parts of the body to suffer a crush injury in the workplace are hands, feet, arms, legs or torso.
