Working in the food processing industry can be very hazardous and can easily result in workers sustaining a factory accident injury if correct precautions are not taken. In cases where this happens, employers may be considered liable for paying out compensation claims.
Some major causes of injury
Each year work injury lawyers represent claimants who have sustained injury in many different types of food processing factory accident – however, some types of incident are more common than others.
Musculoskeletal and back injuries
Musculoskeletal and back injuries frequently occur in food processing factory workers and are most commonly a result of heavy lifting and other forms of manual handling.
Slip and trip accidents
Slip and trip accidents are another cause of worker injury in food processing factories, usually because of wet or uneven floor surfaces.
Falls from height
Working at height, whether on ladders, stairs or mobile working platforms (MWPs) or vehicles, is a significant hazard in food factories.
Impact injuries
Whether being struck by tools, machinery or vehicles such as forklift trucks, impact injuries are another concern to food factory workers and their employers.
Machinery accidents
There is a great deal of machinery involved in food processing work. Workers sometimes become crushed in machinery or suffer amputation injury, depending on the type of device – whichever the case, it may be possible for injured workers to claim compensation.
Burn injuries
Hot and scalding substances may cause workers to suffer burns.
Chemicals and other hazardous substances
Chemicals and hazardous substances can cause dermatological or respiratory conditions – some may even be carcinogenic.
